What is the best lense for a childs birthday Party?

$60???? Rip off

LOL Yeah unless you can't make your own.

It's one thing to use a DYI but unless you can make it presentable enough you won't use it because you won't take it out of the house.

Well I took all of your advice and thank you for it. I purchased a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 and a Canon Speedlite 430EX II. I am also going to get the Studio Pro 3.0 flash diffuser and try it. I am not good at DIY and so feel store bought is my best bet. Thanks again for all your help. I'll let you know how it goes.

A 50 on a crop sensor is most likely too long for indoor use. I highly recommend a 35 prime. I'm not sure if Canon has a 35/2, but Nikon does and it's my favorite event photography prime lens. It's also a full stop faster than f/2.8 zooms.

I think you will be very pleased with your purchases.

Good luck!!!
