You definitely answered my looong pondering question of what lens to buy. I am on a super tight budget and could not decide between a 35mm and 50mm. I am definitely buying the 50mm. Thanks for the help!

Thanks!! You just made my day!!

Thank you Brian,

I actually just purchased a 50 mm f/1.8 because of this post. I already have the basic 18-55 mm yet I wanted something to provide more detail. Thank you for this post and have a blessed weekend.

Oh, almost forgot, 18-55 lens!! Good!!!

Norbert. Wide angle lenses can be a great addition to you equipment. You can spend a little or a lot, it really depends on the specific lens and brand. If you have some extra cash I think you would really like the effects you get with a wide angle lens. My thoughts are the more lenses the better. Keep in mind that used lenses are cheaper and can be just as good or better than a new lens. Shop around on Ebay or www.usedcameras.com and see what you can find. Also, Rokinon makes some awesome fast wide angle lenses. They don't have auto focus, but are getting rave reviews from the experts. I have a Rokinon and love it. Thanks for the comment Norbert! Hope this helped!!

Brian, Great Post!!!

I'm a newbie in SLR Photography and this past year I purchased my Canon EOS Rebel T1i. I made the purchase with a EFS 18-55mm good/bad? no idea. It takes great shots in the volleyball games of my middle son. When I first got it I went with my oldest son to the beach, he does bodyboard surfing, oh my, he could barely be seen. I then bought an EFS 55-250mm zoom lens and this one did much better. Later on, I purchased an 50 mm f/1.8, it takes great pictures, especially portraits and, does marvels in low light conditions.

I have a very tight budget and reading this posts was awesome. It makes me feel good with what I have, and probably will suffice for a while. I do this for a hobby but I'm very serious about it. I once went to a landscaping seminar and was recommended a wide-angle lens. They are expensive, very, any thoughts?

Dr,

Thanks for the comment! If I was wanting to travel and take photos of landscapes I would get exactly what is said above. The three lenses above would cover everthing you would need. Now, if I could only get one, I would start with the 18-50mm. It is an overall good lens to start with, The 18-55mm usually comes with the camera(kit lens). If you need further clarification let me know. I hope this helps. Thanks!

2012-01-07T07:56:59.432-07:00

If you already have a 55-300mm and a 18-55, I would still get a fast 50mm prime lens. I would shell out the money for the f/1.4. I think you would be very surprised with the results you get!
Thanks for the comment!

Nousher, it depends on what type of camera you have and also what you are shooting. Can you tell me what the lens would be used for and what camera you would be using it on?

Thanks for the post. One out of three ain't bad. I have the 50mm 1.4, love it! The 18-200 is great, but would hope to replace with a 2.8 wider Lens and move to a better telephoto. Who knows, those smaller compact cameras are nice, less to carry.

Thanks for the comment Jim.

Would certainly go with items 2 & 3 Brian. The canon 18-55 mk2 is also allegedly a great improvement on the earlier version which I owned but simply gave it away as I felt it was seriously degrading my images.
If people are in the market for a 70-700/2.8 or even 4, I would suggest the wide zoom to complement it would be the 17-40......?
