Hi All,
I know there are many many many threads like this, but please don't shoo me out. I've read through lots of pages of them and still think I could use a little advice
I have a canon t3 right now, with the 18-55 kit lens a 50mm 1.8 and a tamron 70-300 f:4-5.6
I don't have a lot right now to upgrade, but I would like to upgrade my equipment. I primarily use the 50mm lens.
I'm looking mostly for a better ability to take photos in low light without grain. I would like to do this without flash as I want to take photos at a friends wedding soon (Not as a job, just want to get some photos in for fun while I am there...)
Three ideas I have come up with are:
Canon 60D body
Canon 5D body
Tamron 28-75mm f:2.8 lens
If I get the 5D, I believe the only lens that would work would be my 50mm. It would take a while to be able to afford another lens. The Tamron lens on the t3 body would allow me better pictures than my kit lens, but wouldn't actually allow me to use a lower aperture than my 50mm so it doesn't seem like much of an upgrade in that specific area, although it would be a great investment overall...
So opinions would be great.
Also: Does anyone know if the Tamron lens would work on a 5D body? What about the Sigma I already have (I know it's nothing special, but better than nothing, and definitely would produce better results on a full frame if it does work! The lens has the red dot on it, like my 50mm, so I THINK it would but I am not sure)
I reaaally don't want to spend more than $600...
