Next Lens?

JamesU2005 · 20 Jul 2007 at 23:54

Just got myself a 350D plus Kit lens.

Just wondered what should be my next lens purchase for a student on a budget.

Keep it as low as possible.

Anything will do just give me some names and makes so I can do my research.

Cheers guys.

Sounds like the 50mm is the one to get for a quality piece of glass at a budget price.

Done a bit more research and the Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO DG Macro looks a decent telephoto lens for the money?

Well in terms of value for money its SEEMS a decent lens. Obvs there are better lens' out there but not for under £100.

You can get the Sigma for around the £100 on a certain auction site.

And having a look below, it seems it takes decent shots in a variety of different situations.

Get a nifty fifty, Canon 50mm 1.8

Sorry for the nooby question but does the f/1.8 mean the minimum aperture size and it can do everything above that?
