Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum and looking for some suggestions for upgrading my kit lens.
Currently I have 18-55mm and a 55-200mm lens which came with the camera. I have started taking a photography course which I am really enjoying and looking so upgrade my lens.
I am wanting to get a better walk around lens. I mainly use it for taking photos of the family when we are out and about and some landscapes when we are out walking. We do a lot of skiing and I love getting shots of the mountains.
One suggestion I have been given is a 24-105mm lens. Reading online there is so much to choose from I don't know where to start. (one suggestion I found online as a starting lens was a Sigma 18-35 f1.8) I don't have the biggest of budgets so I want to make the right choice, I'm looking to spend 300/400. I'm looking at both new and second hand.
Another suggestion I have seen on a lot of websites is the "nifty 50". Is it worth having one of these in the bag when we go out on an evening. With bonfire night/ Winter around the corner is it worth getting one of these for shooting in low light.(As I said before my budget is only small but could add this to the Christmas list...)
Thanks for any tips and advise
