I saw some lovely examples of close up lense results on here just last night so I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice in which ones I should go for.

And I'm also looking for a wide zoom lense that can handle mainly landscapes and birds - I want to be in the position where I have to detach lenses as little as possible.

Thanks

If you dont want to keep detaching lenses just do what I did and get a dedicated DSLR for each lens. I now have the 350D with the 105 and the 30D with the 12-24. The 105 was cheap compared to the 12-24. I may need some advice for what DSLR to dedicate to my 100-400 IS. Maybe a Nikon as OY rates them big time
