Okay, I've finally got in touch with the charming people from whom I ordered my camera and it seems that it will arrive in days. Therefore I have the lens choice to deal with.
Do you think this is wise...
70-300mm IS USM
50mm f1.8
then get a
17-85mm IS USM
once I get bored with the kit lens. Unless I'm mistaken that should allow me to do almost every kind of photography...
My only concern is whether I will be able to do ultra-wide. I've been reading up on the Sigma 10-20mm which seems like an ACE lens, but it also appears that it is designed for cameras with a smaller sensor and unless I'm mistaken I could get similar results if I were to use the 17-85mm and switch up to a larger sensor.
Given the option between an ultra-wide lens and a camera upgrade in 6months or so, would it not be wiser to upgrade the camera?
