and I'm hoping you can help me out! We're leaving for Disney in a few weeks and I'm debating about buying another lens.
Current gear:
Canon XS
18-55 IS f/3.5-5.6
75-300 III f/4-5.6
35 f/2
(all canon)
planning on buying an external flash (430EX) before I leave.
Lenses I'm considering:
Tamron 28-75 f/2.8
Canon 100 f/2
I've thought about selling the 75-300 & buying a better telephoto lens but that one was "free" (bought the xs kit & rec'd that with it) & I can get ok shots outdoors in good light with fast shutter speed.
F stop is a consideration since the xs does not have great high ISO capabilities (I usually only like the photos at 100-400 ISO) - I'm ok with that..for now.
I think I'm ok with the lenses I have for now, but if someone has a compelling argument for getting another one, let's hear it! Pictures I usually take: kids, characters, parades, resort, and anything else that catches my eye. I did seriously think about the canon 24-105L but the f/4 makes me pause because I do take a lot of indoor photos, too. I like sharp pictures and not sure if I'd be very happy with a "vacation lens" - I did check out pics on another site.
So, what do you think? Go with what I have? or add another one?
