So I've decided to save up some money and I'm almost ready to buy a Canon 5D Mark II. I've seen the camera in action and I really like it. I haven't picked out a lens that I want yet though. Any suggestions for a first-timer?
Right now I haven't done much with my current camera besides taking videos of my friends and I goofing around outdoors or eBay photos. I've taken pictures of our animals in the past with my current camera and surprisingly they came out pretty nice, I might post some of them. Other than that, I don't find myself doing much more with my current camera, but only because it's not in any way a professional camera. Once I own something better, I'll look to do more with it.
I've browsed around on YouTube for videos taken with the 5DMII and so far I like the picture of the 16-35 F/2.8. I do plan on shooting in lower light.
What kind of lens would you suggest to a beginner? What are your likes/dislikes of the 16-35 F/2.8? Any other suggestions?
