Hi
Just trying to workout which lens to buy next and would appreciate some advise from anyone kind enough to help.
Where I'm at.
Got my first DSLR last year (canon 500d/rebel) had plenty of fun, finished a begginers 10 week course and starting an intermediate one in Jan.
Ready to get my first piece of L glass, but these things are expensive and want to start with the end in mind! I have a 18 55 kit lens, 55 250, 50 1.4, and the 85 1.8 all ready.
I am still experimenting and would like to be flexible of focal length, and appreciate no one lens can do it all.
I was thinking of the 24-70 2.8 complimented by the 70 200 f4 is. Then maybe look to go full frame. The end being maybe two camera's a full frame 5dmk2 with a 24-70 and my rebel with a 70-200 f4 is.
I considered the 24 105 and 24 70 and eventually decided on getting the 24-70, After that going on to get the 70 200, f4 is, (i would love the 2.8 is but its a bit outta my league right now).
I think the 24 70 would be most useful right now for me, but i'm thinking of getting the 70 200 first as the 24-70 is kind of old (2002 ish), and it keeps being rumoured about an upgrade.
If i got the 70 - 200 now (which i want anyway) it would give me some time to see if there is a new 24 - 70 on the horizon and get the new version if its announced this year or a slighltly cheaper one as they get phased out.
So, right lenses?, right idea? and right to wait a few months before jumping on a 24-70? I'm sure I will have fun with the 70 200????
Any help?
