Meanwhile: TJ:
I'm hoping that one of the photographical b3tans sees this...
My dad has decided that he wants a zoom lens for his camera, but isn't sure what to get. His camera's a Canon DSL - he's vague on more than that - and he's basically after something that'll enable him to take photos of birds an' ting from a reasonable distance. His budget is about £300.

Any recommendations based on these admittedly vague parameters?
(, Sun 26 Dec 2010, 10:10, archived)
# Crikey.
I'd say a 300 mm lens is good, but for 300 squid, probably a zoom lens. I've got a Sony rather than a Canon, so I couldn't help so much on that. Try this place: www.birdforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=292
Birdforum's Canon subforum, centres around what Canon bits and bobs are best for birding.

If his camera body is fairly new and does OK images in high iso, I guess a zoom will be sufficient despite letting in a little less light.

Have a look at the "Tamron 18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 AF Di-II LD Aspherical" lenses. Google product search lists the lens as £300 and under.

It's what I use on my Canon 50D, and it's only removed if I want to use my macro lens.

# It honestly pisses me off, the rate at which we kill things
So many species that we have just disposed of without thinking. I really am depressed that I'll never get to see a dodo, and when I heard about lemurs the size of gorillas that just aren't around any more I got really rather pissed off at our entire race.

Lovely picture, by the way, I just wish there were more than drawings and the odd photo to show us creatures that we've nothing better to do than destroy.
(, Sun 26 Dec 2010, 4:00, archived)
# It's the things that weren't rare in the first place:
Labrador Duck, Great Auk, Carolina Parakeet, Elephant Bird and so on - species where they were numerous and under no threat.
Species go extinct all the time naturally and chances are a lot of the ones that were rare before we started sticking our oar in were going to extirpate anyway, but things like the above are pretty shameful.
However, overall, things may be startig to look up a little. Places like Brazil are now realising just how important places like the rainforests are and if other nations catch on, maybe the pressure will be off a few species.

I might be drawing a few more extirpated birds for their pages. Sad, but it's quite a challenge as there are only old b&w photos and stuffed birds to work from. I used four photos to work from to make the image - the problem with stuffed birds is that they are often on funny poses.
