It's final....now for the decision

thanks, I was really hoping to find a good all around lens. So beside portraits I don't need to switch much.

I'm shooting with a T1i and a kit lens right now. I could not be happier with the camera and lens. I'm planning on getting the 50mm 1.8 later this year, but the kit really is a good place to start. If your budget allows you to get additional lenses, go for it, but don't feel like you'll be hampered with the kit gear.


Below I'm including a photo I shot with the kit in challenging light -- maybe not exactly low light, but it was tough enough. ;-)

I was very satisfied with the resulting shot.

great work!

great picture. Okay. Maybe I'll get the kit and THEN if I want something else, I'll ask for it for Christmas. lol

what does everyone think of the Canon EF 28-135mm f3.5? I could get the body that lense and then a nifty fifty?

Have you looked into the Canon EFs 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6???? That lens stays on my camera (my only other lens is the 18-55 though). There is some slight vignetting sometimes at the longer focal lengths, but it's not too serious. It actually looks pretty good sometimes. But most of my Flickr shots were taken with that lens; if you wanna see how it handles.
