        I am a Nikon man. Only cause my dad is and all Nikon lenses fit Nikon bodies. Not sure about cannon. Have a look at a Nikon d90. An older model to the d7000 i think. So you should find a good price and has a lot better features the the d3000 you are looking at. There is a pro shop in London that I got a second hand lense from that might have a good deal. I will look for there info if you want?

          Ask Tommy, it's presumably he who will be using it most…...

              you cant go wrong with either system Gav.  Personally, I feel Nikon makes a superior body but, Canon makes better glass.

                I've had both systems, it's about the photographer as much as anything else :P. I feel like I get better photos out of my Canon setup but then again I dropped more money on the glass, so expect as much.

                (The 6D + 24-70mm f2.8 L USM II is mind blowing)

                  I will take my conflicted thoughts to Tokyo and search the second hand dealers of Akihabara for a bargain.

                              that isn't the first time G has placed that quote, but it still makes me chuckle.

                              i've actually come to the determination that's how i unwittingly picked my spouse, or maybe that's the other way around  :o

                                  only 8 toe fellow i know that introduced a bunch of folks to 21oz denim out of japan. that checks the originality box if you ask me.

                                  in any event ask tommy what camera he likes as he takes most of the flicks anyway  🙂 some how feel i've read that before  😉

                                    Auto focus will often be a bit slower to focus than ordinary lenses. Some macro lenses have a focus limiter though, so I would recommend that! A few of sigma's macros are quite nice, the 150/2.8 for instance.

                                    @jacoavlu:

                                    many modern "normal" lenses can focus plenty close enough for most of our needs, and a macro lens is bound to have some trade off, be it higher cost, larger physical size, longer focus throw, slower AF, etc. so if you don't have a strong need for the macro performance I'd ignore them. Just my thoughts

                                    hmm i don't think I really need that extra few cm of focus.. but it would've been nice to have if it won't compromise on focus speeds. What would you guys suggest for a lens then? I'm using a full frame Canon 7D and would like a lens of about 12-18mm? It's a pain for me to use my 30mm Sigma F/1.4 indoors..

                                      ^I think you've just answered your own question :), there's not many lens in the market between 12-18mm, look for one of those with an apperture of 2.8 or less and you're good to go.

                                      Personally I've fond 24mm as low as I needed to go  for most things, on a full frame camera…...

                                        I have no experience with superwides, out jn that range you're getting into fisheye lenses and specialty stuff. Why the want for such a wide lens?

                                          oh sorry i've been mistaken! i mean somewhere along the lines of 17-22mm. I've came across the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM. but seeing that it's a macro… it has slower focus speeds right?
