^ one im looking at.

im looking for:
wide angle
and a good aperture, like 2.8 and less.
that has good macro.

no fixed zooms.

i'd appreciate the help =) thankyouu
and that produces good bokeh
something fast thats good for low light

and also good for portraits

:)



Answer
You seem to want an awful lot from a single lens. You want wide angle, portrait length, macro and large aperture. There isn't a lens like this. You will have to compromise on something or buy two lenses.

The lens you linked to is faster but as Pooky said duplicates what you already have. It also will not do macro work. For macro you will need a macro lens or at least a telephoto zoom with a macro mode.

You can get the Canon 50mm F2.5 compact macro for $275 which will do macro as well as portraits. It is a little short for my liking when it comes to a macro lens but it will give you nice results. You will just need to get pretty close to your subjects. Macro lenses make great portrait lenses as well do to the large apertures.

For wide angle you have a few choices depending on how wide you want to go. Personally I would go wider than the one you chose. As already said that duplicates what you have. The Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 is a very good lens that is perfect for landscapes and architecture in low light. Cost is $599

I realize that this is about $100 more than your budget but I wanted to let you know what was available. This combo will give you what you want and expand on what you already have.

A canon rebel XTi lens fitting?




marilyn


so i have a canon rebel xti 18-55mm.
and i want a new lens with marco so that it focuses better.
i found one Canon Macro lens - 100 mm - F/2.8 - Canon EF
and i was wondering if it would fit my camera...

haha i have no clue.
or what would fit my camera.



Answer
Any Canon lens manufactured from 1987 (when the EF mount was introduced) and on will work with your XTi. The only thing you have to remember is that if you do not get a dSLR with a Full Frame 35mm sensor (which are very expensive), you need to multiply the focal lenght of the lens by 1.5. The XTi has a APS-C size sensor (equivalent to the old 24mm APS film standard) so you would have to use the 1.5 multiplier when using older 35mm SLR lenses. As an example a 50mm lens would become a 75mm lens and a 28mm-200mm lens would be equivalent to 42mm-300mm lens. Check out the article below for more info.
