    Lense & CF Card?

    Hey,

    Got my new camera on the way the Canon 400D and was just wondering if anyone could recommend me a CF card for it (1GB) and a wide Angle lense for landscape shots.

    Thanks
    Drobbins

    ok u got to be quick -
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2GB-SanDisk-Ul...QQcmdZViewItem <<<< highly recommend this seller - all my Ultra II cards have come from him

    wide angle lens?
    Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC - or do you require wider?

    Sigma 12-24mm F4-5.6 EX DG

    or if you'd rather go Canon
    EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM

    or again if you need wider
    EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5

    Very nice lens:
    Canon 17-40L

    Fantastic for wide angle stuff, especially if you upgrade to full-frame later.

    The Canon 17-85 IS lense is a pretty good wide-to-general purpose lense. Pretty much permenantly lives on my 350D.

    http://www.7dayshop.com have some good deals on Flash memory.

    I've uesed them quite a few times. Not had an issue with them so far. They do cater for the low end of the market though, so they don't do things that are a little unusual. delivery is usually pretty quick too.

    7dayshop usd to do the best deals for canon lenses but customs got wind of it and stopped them...managed to get a 50mm from them for £50 though...now its £75 or more everywhere!

    Please, Don't ask for that one 'as a desktop'...its really not worth wasting your time asking, unless you're able to pay £££?
