Canon lens help
Folks,
Looking to buy a new tele lens for the 350D as my wife is going on a safari in Africa in a
couple of weeks. Of course, I want to get one that is reasonably good for astro work as well.
So, I have a few questions I'm hoping some of you more familiar with this stuff can help me with.
As I understand it, L-series is best, then DO, then standard. True?
I suspect that prime would be better than zoom, but zoom would be better for general use.
Does the IS system help or hinder when doing astrophoto's? If so, can it be turned off?
What is the longest hand-holdable focal length? Is 200 a reasonable limit, or is 300 hand-holdable?
All answers gratefully received!
Thanks,
Jason.
