Choosing my next Canon lens
Submitted by Merlin on December 18, 2007 - 3:42pm.
Need lens-buying advice from Canon photography nerds.
The Mrs. and Me are starting to really dig taking photos again – she with a Rebel XT and me with a 30D. We currently share joint custody of 1) the XT’s standard 18-55mm zoom (blech) and 2) the glorious and much-loved 50mm f1.4 (yay!).
So, let’s say, hypothetically, a fella wanted to pick up a new Canon lens to add to these two cameras’ modest arsenal. If we wanted a fast, flexible lens (that would mostly get used for baby picture-taking), what would you guys recommend? Possibly a higher-end, faster zoom?

Canon 17-55 f2.8 IS
Hi Merlin,
I have the 30D with this lens for baby picture-taking. It’s not cheap, but that’s what you pay for quality. If you shoot at f2.8, at ISO 3200, you’re good in almost any light.
MBW isn’t the same without you.
Cheers, Weldon
