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 EF 28mm f1.8

I've been using the EF 28mm f1.8 for baby pictures and related matters and have been very happy with the results, it's fast and sharp and works well up close and further away.
