Choosing my next Canon lens
Merlin Mann | Dec 18 2007
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? 36 Comments

I’ll just add to the Flash bandwagon. I have a Nikon, but after buying my 50 1.4, I got a mid-range flash…and have never looked back. When taking baby snaps the 50mm and the 18-55 are really all you would probably need, adding more zoom won’t help much if they aren’t off playing soccer or the like. Go with the flash…so worth it. » POSTED IN:
