i have a canon t2i

Answer
i had heard more about Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens which is good one.

*70-300mm telephoto zoom lens with f/4-5.6 maximum aperture for Canon EOS SLR cameras
*3-stop Image Stabilizer for reducing camera shake; ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM)
*Electro-magnetic diaphragm (EMD) helps create attractive background at large apertures
*Super Spectra lens coating and lens element shaping suppresses flare and ghosting
*Measures 3 inches in diameter and 5.6 inches long; weighs 22.2 ounces; 1-year warranty

which canon lens?

anna

i've got a canon 350d and i'm satisfied with it.
i'm interested in fashion and concert photography as well as portraiture. besides kit i already have a 50mm f/1.8 and it' good for portraits but i'm looking for a new lens that could satisfy my needs. and my budget's pretty low too.. :(

a wide angle or telephoto?
which one?
or something else?
a sigma maybe?

Answer
ok, i doubt ur gonna get just one lens to do everything... for concerts, your going to need something fast {f/2.8} for example, because of low light situations. Also, a zoom would be best in that situation {but quite frankly to get a good zoom that fast, is pretty pricey} im guessing ur just starting out? one of my favorite lenses is a Sigma dg 28-300.. its very versatile.. the only thing - its heavy HEAVY!.. but it is MY favorite... it runs about $300.

Is the Canon 18-200mm EF lens considered versatile?

Stephen

I own a Nikon D3100, and two lens: the 18x55mm VR and the zoom 55-300mm VR both from Nikkor (Nikon). I use it almost daily, and I realize that for my uses, I find myself needing to switch from indoors (I use the 18-55mm for this one) to outdoors (55-300mm). I find it a hassle to keep switching out these lenses almost every time I use them, and I usually carry my DSLR and my 2 lens w/ me. These get heavy after a while, so I'm considering a compromise between the two of these lenses that A.) meets the ranges of the focal lengths between the two and B.) that I can use only one lens instead of bringing two. And also, I'm planning on getting a Canon 60D or Rebel T3i as my next DSLR purchase in the near future, so I'm buying lenses that will fit those (as per the Canon 18-200mm EF lens). I am aware that I need to get an additional mount adapter to use the Canon lens on the F-mount of my Nikon.

So what I'm asking is this: Can the Canon 18-200mm lens do everything (and more) than my Nikkor 18-55mm? I heard about the focus of the 18-200mm is considerably wide, although (b/c I'm new to photography) I'm not sure what that would mean.

And if I do get the Canon lens, I might consider selling my 18-55mm depending on how good the Canon lens is. Anyway, any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
I am thinking about upgrading to a Canon 60D or a 5D Mk II in the near future, but that's not until after 5 years.


I might buy this lens used (if I decide to buy them at all)

Answer
18-200mm lenses have nice versatility, but there is some sacrifice in image quality. You might be able to reduce your lens changing considerably by getting the 18-105, which is reputed to have more consistent image quality. If you do want 18-200mm then get the Nikon lens. It costs twice as much as the Canon, but it is better quality.

What is the most versatile lens for a DSLR?

XD

I am HOPEFULLY going to be getting a Canon DSLR. I am looking more towards the EOS 30D. What do you guys think of that camera, or do you recommend a different one? Plus, what lens would be most versatile for the camera? I do NOT do a specific type of photography. I do it all, and I really want to find one lens that could work for my versatile style. Also, I would like if the price was UNDER $200. I know I can find some really expensive lenses for really cheap, so really suggest anything. Thanks.

Answer
The most versatile lens at this time is the Nikon 18-200 mm VR lens.

Since you are buying a Canon you may want to look at something like the Canon 18-55 IS mm or 24-85 mm USM. As you can see they are not as long a lens as the Nikon and the 24-85 mm does not have Image Stabilization. However with good photographic skills that should not be a problem

Best lens for film and photography under 100?

best canon versatile lens image

Anon

I'm looking for an all-round versatile lens that gives nice bokeh, has IS (because I don't have a rig) and has a zoom function. I'm using the Canon EOS 60D. :)
Sorry :L I'm looking for a lens between 100 to 150. I'm debating about whether or not to get a zoom or a prime but I just can't decide.

Answer
any lens part from the canon 50mm 1.8(nifty fifty) that is under $100 is useless, photography is an expensive hobby, the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM is a alright lens but you get what you pay for.

Looking to buy a fancy Canon camera and I need your help?

I'm looking to purchase a Canon Camera at the end of the year but don't know which one to choose. What is the difference between all the different Canon cameras... Canon Rebel, Canon Ti, Canon Ti4, etc.? I have always loved taking pictures. I'm getting tired of my digital camera. I want to expand my photography and start taking really wonderful quality photos. What Canon camera do you suggest I get?

Answer
Fancy huh?

There is nothing fancy about a fully adjustable camera. The simply use a light meter to determine the proper exposure (balancing ISO, shutter speed and lens aperture). That is as simple as it gets.

Add to that, you have a choice of many different focal lengths which makes them more versatile than the really "fancy" P&S cameras the detect smiles, faces and friends faces.

If you think that a T1i and T4i are NOT digital cameras then you need to do more research.

Spend some time on these websites and see if any of the listed cameras fit your needs.

After you have visited these sites and have taken notes listing the features of each camera you are interested in buying, visit this site to see how the sensors all perform.

And finally with your notes in hand, visit a proper camera shop and hold your top choices in your hands. You will get plenty of opinions here, but you really need to do the research yourself to know which camera system is best for you.

Now maybe the bad news.

Taking "really wonderful quality photos" has all to do with your skills, NOT the camera you buy.

You can produce the same boring snapshots on your "tired" digital camera as you can on a $43,000 Hasselblad digital camera unless you have the skills and understanding of the fundamentals of photography. That will take some formal training and time
