16mm to 640mm), potentially doubled to as high as 1280mm. Every once in a great
while I wonder if I should have just bought a Canon PowerShot SX1 IS Digital
Camera (it can also shoot 1080 HD Video) or Olympus SP-590UZ Digital Camera
(which hits x26 room &ndash; roughly the equivalent of my max range with the
100-400mm L and a x2 Teleconverter), but this little voice in my head whispers
&ldquo;Picture quality and specialty lenses&hellip;&rdquo; and I immediately remember why I&rsquo;ll
eventually spend like twenty time more money than the PowerShot would have run
me&hellip; (remember: Picture quality and specialty lenses&hellip; picture quality and

lens that came with my original Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel. If I have the
room to bring it I still get occasional use out of it when the light is fading
and the 10-22mm isn&rsquo;t long enough.<o></o>
<p class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"]<span style="font-size: 12pt;"]Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM &ndash; Specifically for low light relatively
close indoor use. Parties, family get-togethers, etc.<span> I intentionally bought a less expensive lens
here due to the fact that I expect friends/family to be passing around the
camera and taking shots (otherwise I&rsquo;d have spend the extra $$$ for a 24mm
f/1.4 L II USM)<o></o>

ever bought. I now only use it if I absolutely must have the range. As soon as
I buy the 100-400mm L it will go the way of my 300D (to my brother).<o></o>

the considerations between the various macros this one wins out on a balance of
range, aperture, price, size, etc. It&rsquo;s got a little range, it&rsquo;s fast, cheap,
much smaller than the 180mm L and has decent picture quality.<o></o>
