I previously had a Rebel XS which I got in 2008. Honestly, I almost never took a picture unless I was in automatic mode.
I have since had a grandchild....and wanted to get really nice newborn pictures of him..... started on pintrist, took a class, and now I have a Rebel 4ti.
I almost never use my lens that came with the camera.
I have purchased a 50mm f1.8 and it is my absolute favorite lens.
I love the clarity and the blur it offers.
However, I have really started to get into this hobby.
I have been helping friends out by taking pictures of their daughters for their senior pictures.... not money of course, but because I have new victims LOL.
My question is..... is there a better lens I could be using then this?
Is it worth the money to get the 1.4?
I have looked at many of the threads and get a bit confused..... I see a lot about a 24-105 but am unclear if that is something I should invest in.
Also, I have taken photos of my husbands car and I tried to use my zoom lens that came with my Rebel XS and quite frankly, the pictures were not very good.
I have been looking at the Canon Telephoto 75-300 f4????
I wouldn't take many distance pictures, but when I do, I want to be proud of them.
My old zoom - honestly is so heavy that almost all the pictures come out blurry unless I use the tripod.
Any suggestions?
I am going to attach a couple of pictures to you an idea of my photo style.
I don't have thousands to spend on a lens....but I really am enjoying this hobby and would like to continue with this interest.
