Hi all,
Hope everyone is having a wonderful time at TPF. I am new to this forum and what to be an active part of it.
I am planning to buy a Canon Rebel XTi (400D) and was wondering the lens I need to buy with that. I am used to clicking SLRs (my dad had one) and consider myself a serious amature.
I have kind of decided on the focal length I would require for my day to day shooting needs and I feel a range of 24 105/130 would be kind of ideal. I would at a later day buy a telescopic and a wide angle lens as I improve my skills and have the money. Now, this leaves me with 2 choice; the Canon 24-105 f4 L IS USM and the Canon 24 -135 f3.5 5.6IS USM.
I know the L series is in a different league than the other but as it costs almost $600, I was wondering if the investment would be worth it. Knowing that the XTi has a 1,6 crop does it make sense to invest in the L series. Is the difference in picture quality worth the $600? Is there any other lens which have similar spec and that I should consider.
Thanks guys ..I think I will be spending way too much time on this forum.
Take care
