I am planning on buying the new Canon t2i and Best Buy has two separate packages available.
One includes an extra 75-300mm Zoom Lens and the other includes an extra 55-250mm f/4-5.6 Telephoto Zoom Lens. The telephoto lense is a little more money but only by like $100
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the differences between the lenses and which one would be more worth my time, if either.

Thanks!



Answer
I would go w the 75-300mm zoom. I have a Canon Rebel and the 75-300mm Zoom

Factor on the camera is 1.6, so 1.6 times length of your lens gives you the effective length.

18-55 becomes 28 to 88

75-300 becomes 120 to 480

Unless you need a wide angle lens, or a macro lens, you pretty much have it covered.

18-55 general photography and landscapes
75-300 sports, and things you can't (don't want) to get close too.
wide angle - journalism. get the big picture
macro - real closeup work
80- to 105 portraits (use high end of 18-55 (28-88), or low end of 75-300(120-480)

What's the best telephoto lens to buy for a Canon Rebel Xsi?

You can list the best overall lens as well as the best one for the money.


Answer
The best for the money really depends on your budget since you get what you pay for, or what you need it for. A pro sports shoot would probably go for the 400 f/2.8 or 70-200 f/2.8 or both. A bird photographer might go for the 500 f/4 or 400 f/5.6. Someone on a budget might consider the 18-200, 75-300 or 70-300. On average though, the best telephoto for the money seems to be the 70-200 f/4 non IS which goes for around $600. Its an L lens and the cheapest one by a bit. Its very sharp and very well built and has excellent image quality. If I wanted to spend under $1000 for a telephoto lens and didnt need an f/2.8 aperture that lens would be it.
