lens for the 58mm Canon Rebel XSi DSLR camera?
lens for the 58mm Canon Rebel XSi DSLR camera?
Answer
Hey,
Your Canon XSi has an EF and EF-s mount. The 58mm is the filter size of your current lens (18-55). All lenses have different filter sizes (but most have 58mm), it is written on the front of your lens.
Here's a post called 'Buying a Macro lens for Canon - http://www.the-dslr-photographer.com/2010/02/buying-macro-lens.html
I'd get the Sigma 105, Canon 100mm f/2.8 or the Tamron 90. They're all ~450$.

What is the best portrait lens with the Canon 40d?
Q. I currently have a rebel - think I've finally decided on a 40d body (doesn't seem to be much difference between the 40d & 50d), but now interested in the best portrait lens I can match up with the 40d. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks to all who answered! Looks like I'll be investing in the 50mm 1.4.

Answer
That depends on how much you're planning on spending and what focal length suits your needs. Here are a few fairly inexpensive mid-telephoto prime lenses.
- EF 50mm f/1.8. A very good choice if you're on a budget (only $100).
- EF 50mm f/1.4. Slightly improved version of the lens above. But compared to the more expensive lenses, it's just as sharp but only is a fraction of the price (about $370). You can see the difference between the f/1.8 and f/1.4 versions here: http://photo.net/equipment/canon/ef50/
- EF 85mm f/1.8. Very good quality lens and excellent bokeh. On APS-C cameras, it's a bit long (136mm) but should be okay if you do tight portraits. Also could be a good lens for sports. It costs about $380.
- EF 100mm f/2.8. A tack sharp macro lens and also good for portraits, although it's pretty long on APS-C cameras (160mm). It costs around $520.
