Question by jlh: What is a good telephoto lens to add to a Canon T1i?
I have a Canon T1i which came with an EF-S 55-250 lens and an EF-S 18-55. I would now like to add a couple of additional lenses. I am interested in Macro photography and would also like a longer telephoto lens. I am an amateur and do not want to spend thousands. What would be the next logical lenses to buy? They don’t have to be Canon lenses necessarily.

I also want to buy a strobe and like Sunpak.

Any suggestions.

First I own a Canon 1000D and I recommend nothing but Canon lenses. Third party lenses offer attractive prices but the glass is normally of lesser quality.

That said I have 3 Canon lenses, the 18ᇋ, a 28-200 (best I have) and a 75-300 which does well when I actually use it. In my opinion a general lens would be your best bet. Something that’s fairly wide at the bottom but has a pretty good reach. As I see it the 55-250 is pretty good but it’s not wide enough to leave on your camera as I do with my 28-200. I do that because every time I change I’m opening my sensor to dust and dirt.

just my thoughts – good luck

Question by k a t e: What is your opinion on a Canon Rebel T1I DSLR?
I am only an amateur photographer so is this too fancy? What else would be suggest IF the Canon Rebel T1I is not for me?

I currently own a Sony Cybershot and that camera doesn’t seem to work well enough for the photo effects I’m trying to capture.

Thanks!
