I'm ready to upgrade my camera lens (from my kit lens)…What should I pick?(Canon Rebel SLR)?

June 15th, 2011

I purchased a Canon Rebel about a year ago. Since then I have been shooting with my kit lens that came with it. Photography is just a hobby for me now…but I LOVE it, and hope to maybe go professional one day. Right now tho, I am a broke teacher’s assistant pursuing an Elementary Ed. Degree.

I want to upgrade my camera lens, without breaking the bank. I would LOVE a wide angle lens, but my budget is in between 0-0. I know I won’t get the GREATEST lens in the world for this price…but I do want something better than what I have now.

I mostly shout outdoors. I also mostly shoot portraits. (So far I think I would described as a "natural light" photographer.) I have no lenses other than the kit lens that came with my camera, and I also have no external equipment. (Flashes, etc.)

What should be my next lens? I have been pretty pleased with most of my pictures so far…but I want to take it to the next level!

Suggestions please!

      What is a good beginning photojournalist lens?

      June 2nd, 2011

      I might be for too much at the moment, but I’m looking for a good, cheap (0 or less) lens for my Canon Rebel XT to start out as a freelance journalist.

      I’ve done photography casually before and am still learning a lot about how everything works, so I’m not particularly well-versed in actually using the terminology. However, these are my main complaints:
      - My lens never seems to be able to pick up much light. I’ve been trying to find f/2.8 lenses, but they all seem very expensive.
      - A lot of "photojournalist" lenses seem to measure 18-50 mm, yet when I took photos at a publication before, my constant problem was that I couldn’t get close enough. Should I switch to a zoom lens then? In which case, should I get a wide-angle and a zoom lens? The problem is that getting both with f/2.8 would make it expensive, so should I only get one of that quality or both?

      Thank you for the help.

          What camera lens would be best for a concert?

          May 6th, 2011

          I’m going to see Taylor Swift in about a month. I’m sitting kind of far off so I need to know what to look for in a camera lens so I can buy a new one. The one that came with my camera is okay but I’d like a better one.

          I have a canon rebel t2i – I’m hoping to stay pretty cheep, maybe under 0 if at all possible.

                    What is the best wide angle lens for a Canon Rebel XTi?

                    April 8th, 2011

                    I am wanting to buy a wide angle lens for my Canon Digital Rebel XTi, but I’m totally lost. I’m not sure which one can take a better picture, so it would really be a huge help if you could recommend some *up to date* lenses for me. A list of lenses, best (in your opinion) to worst, would also help.

                    P.S., I honestly have no idea what a ’14mm’ lens is, and I certainly have no idea if it’s better than a ’24mm’ lens. I’m new to photography, so please excuse my lack of knowledge on the subject – I just really don’t want to make the mistake of buying the wrong lens…
