Photography is a relatively new hobby of mine. I mainly take pictures of my toddler. Currently, I have the Canon 18-55 kit lens and the Canon 50mm 1.8. I am ready to purchase a new lens but would like to stay under the $300 mark if at all possible. After researching what seems to be the never ending possibilities of lenses, I have come to conclude that the Canon 55-250 is the most logical choice BUT there are some other options which may be convenient (possibly more convenient?). I would love to hear your thoughts on the following alternatives:
1. Canon 55-250 f/4.0-5.6 DC ($188 on Amazon)
2. Sigma 18-200 f/3.5-6.3 IS ($263 on Amazon)
3. Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 WITH the Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2 AF Lens ($249 on Amazon)
If you have any other ideas on what the best next lens would be, please let me know! Thank you in advance for your thoughts!
