Hello everyone!
I desperately need some help and was hoping someone out there would lend some expertise on my delimma. I have been wanting to upgrade to a 50D with 1 new lens for now but have been torn about which lens is a must have for me right now. I currently have an 18-55 Kit Lens and a Quantarary 18-200mm f3.6 I bought separtely shortly after I bought my camera. I am just a beginner and don't know much about how to take good photo's but I'm wanting to get a camera I can grow with and a more professional lens that I won't grow out of. I mostly take portrait style pictures of my children, animals, etc.. But really want to get something that I can take professional studio type portraits with. I also do alot of shooting at my boys baseball practices and games and so I need a good lens that can be good for many things. I use the 18-200mm now for everything and it is good for distance shots but the pictures are not very crisp and when I zoom them in, they are very grainy. I'm torn between the following lenses and I was hoping someone could tell me which one is a must have if I can only afford one lens for now.
Canon 50mm F/1.4
Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 or Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8
Canon 85mm f/1.8
Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro
Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro
Thanks to everyone who responds!!!
