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?

28-135 IS
The Canon 28-135 IS is a nice all purpose lens. My nephew is 10 months old - and my sister uses this lens on her Rebel Xti all the time for family photos. Cost is about $ 400.
It will give you more zoom capability than your current 18-55 - and is a much better lens
