Hello! I am new here and found this place from Google cause I can't seem to find some Canon lenses options. I need help.
I currently have Canon EOS 350D but I am about to buy Canon EOS 7D this month. Since I was told that Canon doesn't have good kit lenses I am willing to buy lens that would replace my current kit lens.
I have to say I already have telephoto lens (75-300mm) so I am not looking another telephoto lens or lens that goes into this range. I also have 50mm lens so I am good with it also. I am not looking for fixed lens (without zooming) cause since I don't take photos in studios or in one place, that would be too much of lens changing.
As I said I am not taking pics in studios. I am walking with my cam around, sometimes even whole day. I take pics of events (mostly outdoors), architecture, animals, nature, concerts (with telephoto lens).
I found 2 lens options by myself some days ago. Let me mention them here.
EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM. I was happy that it also has range of wide lens as well since I don't have one but I would like to get one some day. But I was told this is an old lens that is not released anymore although I see it still can be purchased in my country. Then I have read in the net that most of owners of this lens has some technical problems only after few months using it like problems with Aperture and Auto focus. So that one is no for me.
EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM. Now even more wide angle. Good. This lens got lots of positive ratings where I found it. But my problem about this is that it's very heavy. Body of 7D is heavy enough (816g) and together with this lens it would be almost 1 and half kg. For a girl like me I am afraid it would be too much to carry around whole day (plus my other lenses in my bag).
I am out of ideas cause all other lenses I have found are kit (or it seems to be one). So I need help from ppl who knows more about lenses as I do Till now I have stopped to the second lens I have mentioned. If you know something equal or lighter or maybe better or cheaper, pls let me know. However wide angle is not necessary. It also can go from 18mm.
My finances for lens goes till 860$ which is the cost of EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM in my country.
I am not a professional photographer. I work as a web designer and photo retoucher. My hobby is photography which became bigger in the last year plus it also can be used in my profession. I am also looking for adding pics in photo bank to collect some extra money and they value quality which is why quality also should be considered.
I hope I mentioned all my needs and things you may want to know to suggest me some lens.
