Hello! I need advice on a lens to purchase for an upcoming trip to Disney...
I'm trying to decide whether the 17-50mm f/2.8 is worth it over my kit lens.
A few years ago, I took my 50mm f/1.8 prime to Disney (at home, this lens is my most used, mounted to my camera 80% of the time) and the focal length was very limiting. So I switched to my kit lens (18-55mm f/3.5-5.6), which was much easier to use in tight spaces (while standing in line for example!).
Will f/2.8 make a significant difference? Is it worth the money?
A little more background:
* I have a Canon T3i (APS-C sensor)
* I don't like the idea of lugging multiple lenses around the parks, or changing lenses in the parks, so I need a zoom lens for versatility.
* I mainly want to take portraits of my kids, so I am also considering the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8, but a) it's much pricier and b) will I miss the longer focal length for other shots?
Thanks in advance!
