I'm looking to upgrade to a new telephoto for my Olympus 410, and I was thinking of something along the lines of an f/2.8 50-200mm like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-50-200mm- ... 06&sr=1-20

My question is, are there any places in existence where I could find such a lens for cheaper? I know that the answer is probably no, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Also, does anyone have any recommendations of a better/more appropriate lens? I would be using this at Red Wings games, mostly.

I have that lens and I bought it through Amazon. You can try mine before you purchase yours it you'd like.

And if you do buy from Amazon, please start with the Yellow link at the top of this page (it helps support the operation of this site).

So.....I got a Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro Lens a few weeks ago and finally got a chance to play around with it briefly today. Looks like I'm gonna have me some fun! :heart:

:up: I'm jealous...my next investment will be a macro.

My interest in photography began from experimenting with close-up work, so it made sense for me to make that my first lens purchase. I don't subscribe to the "recommended" order of buying lenses. Big surprise, huh? :mrgreen:

Gorgeous lilac!

I'm jealous, too, because I love macro shots, but I'm not inclined to get a digital SLR - I'm happy enough with my current Canon.

I look forward to seeing more. :)
