New Camera Lens For Canon Rebel XSI
I looking for a new camera lens for my new Canon Rebel XSI. I’ve only had it a few months and can’t say I’ve taken many shots with it. The kit lens it came with is just OK, it is 18 – 55mm, image stabilized, auto-focus. I’m looking for a more all around lens that I can have on my camera most of the time. It needs to be a telephoto zoom as well.
The problem is that there are so many options out there. I’m in the market for a consumer lens, I don’t need any of that expensive Canon L glass the professionals use. Those babies can be in the thousands of dollars.
I’m looking at getting a wide angle to telephoto zoom and there are a couple models that interest me. I’m reading all the reviews and one doesn’t really stand out above the rest. I’m thinking of going with either a 28mm -105mm or a 28 – 200mm. I’d like the extra distance on the 200, but I read that there could be some distortion and other issues. Plus, so of the reviewers mentioned quality issues and lens creep.
Decisions, Decisions. I’m in no rush. I think I may head down to the local AZ camera store with my Canon and see it they will let me take some test shots. I’m also looking at getting a prime lens for portraits, but one thing at a time.
