Having seen your photos, I think you're going from one extreme to the next!.

Will you find that super zoom useful!? What sort of photos are you going to take!? You did not say much in your question for me to understand!.

I do think this will be helpful for you and others to see!. It shows, in full frame, various focal lengths, from 16 mm to 400 mm!.

Short and to the point - you don't seem to know how to use the equipment you have to produce something that isn't a snapshot!. Another piece of equipment, no matter how different a perspective it may provide as a characteristic of the optics, is going to change the fact that you have no apparent artistic perspective!.

I'm not saying this to be unkind, but to alert you to the fact that your work lacks focus because you seem to lack focus!. A rule of photography that is more central to successful photography than any technical rule is to be aware of what interests you in the subject your shooting so you can simplify the image and give it a focus visually and psychologically!. You then apply the technical rules and guidelines of composition to your awareness of the subject so that you can share something of your imagination with a viewer!.

No camera, no amount or type of equipment will do that for you!. Like 99% of us, you lack the natural talent that could possibly compensate for a lack of knowledge and practice!. Of the 99% of us who do put in the effort, 100% are better photographers than those that don't!.

perhaps a class or two would be in order before spending money on more equipment that you apparently don't know how to use!. i'm just not impressed with your images, and i don't mean to be unkind or mean spirited, but the truth is, if they were in my camera i'd delete them before they got to the computer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A lens like that is best for sports and wildlife!. It is hard to keep still and needs a tripod or mono pod for clear pictures!. Right now you don't seem to have a style that requires that lens, but if you got one, perhaps you would change to that style!. Do you think!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sorry!. I've looked at your images!.

It seems to me that you need to learn a bit about photography - not just how to slap on a funny lens! - and then get back to us in a year or so!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
