best lens canon xs image
Nic
I have a canon xs and the Lens it came with is fine for close ups but it can not take pictures from far away because the Zoom is terrible. I need some suggestions for a lens that is under 900 that can help me.
Answer
Under $900 I'd probably go for the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 DG Macro HSM II lens. It runs $700. Extremely sharp lens, comparable with the Canon 70-200 f/4L. Great zoom. Low light ability with a fixed f/ of 2.8 makes a HUGE difference.
I shy away from the Canon 70-200 f/4L for one reason only. Most lenses are at their sharpest roughly 2 stops above wide open. Which puts the f/4 lens at f/8 to be it's sharpest. That requires a LOT of light. F/4 isn't really useable without flash inside with your camera without adding flash.
The f/2.8 lens puts you at f/5.6 for it's sharpest. Using it at f/2.8 you will be able to use it indoors in a lot of situations with your camera without flash.
Otherwise? Canon is a superb lens. If low light ability isn't a concern for you (school sports, indoor work,etc) it's worth every penny.

Answer
The Sigma 70 - 200mm EX APO f2.8. Great lens, most pro's have one.

Focuses closer than any other manufacturer making it a near Macro lens, rear focusing so it focuses in the blink of an eye. Superb image quality.
