Tell us about your camera and how you use it. What’s the one thing you like the most about your camera? Are you using a cameraphone? They are great for shooting when you come across an unexpected spectacular moment. Some of the excellent moments have been captured on cameraphones. Or are you using a DSLR?
If you are still making up your mind to buy one, you can check out the quick buying guide here. Tell us what you’d like to know more about your camera. We are coming up with some great posts for the camera owners so have your say before we start.
We have been covering a lot of basic and technical topics on the photography front in the last one month. We’d like to know you better and collect your suggestions. We want to make sure we know you and your camera so that the information is relevant, is usable and valuable. So what are you waiting for? Come on say something :)
So far (8 months) I have not had any dust issues with the lens. I have used it in the desert (dry and dusty) and coastal plains (fog and moisture) without a single problem. I love the “push/pull” zoom personally. After using it for a couple of weeks I found that it is quicker than my twist type lenses.
My 24-105L is probably my favorite all around lens. It is just right for most outings, though not quite tight enough for birding. I tried it on my 40D and found it too be too tight in most cases, so it lives almost exclusively on my 5D.
What type of photography do you use yours for mostly?
I am more of a nature person. travel a lot. I do more of Nature, Landscape and Wildlife. So, 24-105L gives me the right range is not as bulky as the sigma lenses, though I need them for wildlife photography. But for general travel and nature photography I prefer this one.
