It depends on what you like to shoot. I am a novice to the photography game and I have several lenses in my arsenal. I own the 100mm macro, 17-40mm L, 17-55mm, 70-200mm f4L and the 50mm 1.8. My favorite two are the 100mm macro and the 70-200. Both give me sharp crisp images. I tend not to use the 50mm much any more. If I needed that focal lenght I would chose the 17-55 which is fast, great in low and the images are superb. For a general vacation lens combo, I take the 17-55 and the 70-200mm.

Ah, the Rebel XT -- I had one of those for a while. Small LCD screen did make it a bit hard to check if something was in focus or not. The Canon 100-300mm USM isn't a bad lens. But you might consider upgrading the 28-80mm USM -- even the newer kit lens, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, is an improvement. You might also enjoy working with a fast prime lens for the background blurring it can provide. Something like the the Canon 50mm f1.8 or 50mm f1.4 or 85mm f1.8 are excellent lenses. Cool images, by the way!

I have a canon and it was one of the best lenses I ever used for the price. I bought a canon 18-200 and gave mine to my son and have thought about getting another. I think as long as you get the one for your camera you can't go wrong.

Thank you for the information. Especially I decided to purchase 50D with a 28-135mm IS because of the reason you told. It is very attractive offer. Previously, I had thought to purchase a 28-105mm, so the overlapping would be at minimum w/ 100-300mm.IS lenses are unfortunately over my budget. May be later, I can think about them.I think my Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens can be enough For wide angle focal lengths.Thank you again for your suggestions,Merry christmas and happy new year,GO

So now I am wondering just what I am missing with regards to buying this lens for use on a DSLR like the Canon EOS 5D versus the much more expensive "EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM for EOS SLR"???

85mm f/1.8 EF USM is a good choice for portraiture and standard photography, especially if you're shoot'n low light conditions using natural light with the wider aperture. 60mm macro would be fun..May I suggest the Canon EFS 17-85mm f/3-5.5 USM Ultra wide...it has a wide focal range, still wide aperture and GREAT for all photography ($750)...my Canon is always wearing it until I put on a larger 90-300mm lens :)

I would go for the middle (B) range and not even interchangeable lens if not worthed. So: apart from price, loving fidelity in colours and proportions (I hate "postcard" photos), and speed, what between:Sony Nex 5NsOlympus E-PM1Panasonic GF3 (if better than G3, otherwise please tell me)?Any non interchangeble lens as worthed as those? (Olympus XZ-1?)Eventually, thanks a loT

Currently there is no adapter to use EOS-M lenses on a EF/EF-S lens mount camera's.I have recently emailed just such a request to Fotodiox, the company whose lens mount I use for mounting EF/EF-S lenses to my EOS-M camera. If they respond, I will update this answer.I currently have the four EOS-M lenses available(11-22, 22, 18-55 and the 55-200 mm). These are the STM type, ...which if you do any video, ...these are the lenses you want to use. It would really be nice if I could have the use of these lenses on my T5i.

The lens quoted is a NIKON lens-and WILL NOT WORK on CANON -you must request the CANON VERSION-AMAZON HAS IT, I have one. May have missed the wording and had to return the lens. See: Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD VC (Vibration Compensation) Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom Lens with Built in Motor for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Model A20NII)Frank

I wasn't aware Sigma made this same lens in a "macro" version? Becarefull believing the discriptions as some "used" products are misrepresented. Any how, macro will allow for a shorter minimum focus distance. Good luck

Hello Hugh, It focuses super fast, zooms from wide-angle to super-telephoto, and gets close enough for macro shots. However, this is not a replacement for macro lens. Suggestions for Canon macro lens - Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS or Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L. If you looking for cheaper options - Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM or Canon EF 50mm f/2.5.

I have the Rebel XTI and I've taken some great close up pictures with the Canon 100mm f2.8 macro.I also have the 70-200mm f/4, 17-55mm f2.8, 85mm f1.8 and the 17-40 f/4, but my favorite is the 100mm macro with the 70-200mm f/4 a very close second.

you seem to know alot Technology guy, so im replying to ya about a lens choice. Its the CanonEF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS for a 50D im purchasing but im not sure if its compatiable or will fit should I say, Because the 50D says its a EF mount and the rebels are EF-S mount. but since they say the 50D dont come with a lens that can take the use of the full power of the camera I wanted to get something I can afford and that lens i mentiond above is less than 300 usd. So please let me know if it works on the 50D without any problems thanks.

Im told the 100mm f2 usm is the recommended portrait lens, but Ive taken some beautiful shots with the 2.8 that were not macro.

The 17mm f1.8 is the default lens I use the most on my E-M5. I've taken some great pictures with it! I upgraded from a e-pl1 last year and have to say I totally love the E-M5. I may eventually upgrade to the OM-D E-M1 but at this time don't see a need.

Hello! Canon has two new versions of Canon EF 700-200 f/2.8 USM. Both with image stabilization ( Canon EF 700-200 f/2.8 IS I USM and Canon EF 700-200 f/2.8 IS II USM). There is a new third lens with similar feature, but with F/4 of aperture (Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens). So I called as "old version" or a "basic version".
