Me and my boyfriend have recently got into photography in a big way (recently, meaning 7 months) and we're trying to get some decent kit. So far, I've got everything 2nd hand from Jessops as I work there and get a hefty discount on everything, especially 2nd hand stuff. We have a Canon Eos 50E, a Tamron 28mm-80mm lens, a Canon 75mm-300mm USM lens and a Sigma 400mm lens and we're trying to decide what to go for next!
He wants to save up for a 10D whereas I think it's our priority to get a faster lens as so far, the fastest one we've got is about f3.5 I think, the next one being f5.6. I really want a wide lens (preferably 18mm) with f2.8, and he wants a long one (170mm-500mm.....) as fast as possible too. So we've got three choices about where to go next and we don't know where our priority lies! He really wants to get into cycling photos, so I'm trying to tell him he needs a faster lens before he gets a 10D because he's keen to get sharp pictures with no blurring and he's not going to get that with f5.6!
I take pictures of everything and haven't discovered my niche yet. I particularly like flowers and insects so I'm looking for a good macro lens too, I also enjoy architecture and am slowly getting into the cycling thing. So, we can go anywhere from here I suppose, what would you do???
