My name is Rachel and I'm an 18 year old photographer from TN.

I really want to purchase the 50mm f/1.4 lens from Canon for my 7D camera, and I don't know whether to sell the lens I am using now to raise money for the lens, or wait and buy the 1.4 and use both? The lens I have now is a 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6.

I used to shoot weddings, but I don't anymore, so I don't see how I would need two lenses. My dad wants me to keep my 3.5-5.6 lens and get the 1.4 lens when I have the money. The only problem is, I've not been getting business lately with my photography, and I don't think I'll be able to get it for a while.

Please help!
 
I think you would be disapointed in the long run if you get rid of the 28-135 and the range that comes with it. I would say to save and have both, your young and who knows what your going to want to be shooting in a couple years. Oh and how about posting some of your stuff?
 
Thank you for your input! I'm new here, so I don't know my way around. How do you post pictures?
 
As another option, get rid of the 28-135mm and get something like the 17-85mm or the 15-85mm. I'd personally go crazy if 28mm was the shortest focal length I had, on a camera like that.

Although, if you are going to have just one lens, the 50mm F1.4 would be a good one.
 
Thank you to everyone that commented! I am thinking of keeping the 28-135, since it has been a great lens for me. I still want the 1.4 though.
