Alrighty, on a more serious note. So heres what Ive learned from you guys... My Book thread report!
So some lenses will ONLY work on the 40/50D - these are typically listed as EF-S lenses. So if you plan on going full frame and doing weddings, keep in mind that EF-S lenses will not be re-usable. A money saver for down the road
Get lenses with f stops lower than 2.8 Another money saver for down the road.
Lens options:
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS - $1700
Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L - $1300
Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS - $1000
Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L - $1500
That was the NUT BUSTER Right there man....
You can also look at some third party lenses such as Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 - $500 :thumbup:
For a flash, look at the Canon 580EX. :thumbup:
I would think shooting at 3200 would be key for low light photography, specially if you have f/2.8 glass. <---Ah haaaa, Im getting it now.
So heres where Im at, one concern is the ISO rating for a canon 50D
If I decide to go with it, dont buy the kit that comes with the lenses CUZ THEIR CRAP!!!! F3.5 and up is NO GOOD!! And if I do buy a more expensive lense dont try not to get the EF-S cuz they may not aork with a nicer body down the road. But a EF will.
Im may go with the Cannon 50D and find one lense thats 28mm-135mm that is also F2.8 and has all the other important crap. There. See guys. That wasnt so hard. PS, I already got the boat. (LOL) So rather then partying, just thought Id brighten your day with a little humor. I am dead set in pursuing photography and do very much appreciate all the time you guys put into helping me out. Thanks again.
