I think I'm going to take the plunge on a 40D.
But I am trying to decide which lens to get with it.
I think I will get a nifty fifty just because I've heard nothing bad about it.
But I feel I would be limited with just a prime lens.
I have four vague ideas in mind.
1. The 17-85mm.
2. The new 18-55 with IS (apparently it's a big leap from the kit lens for the 400D).
3. Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8.
4. Canon 55-250mm IS
I've heard very mixed things about the 17-85. But it has the best range... The Sigma has good reviews (anyone here got one?), but it's got a limited range. The 55-250 obviously has nothing at the wide angle, but I've used it and it's a really good lens (and not bad value either).
Also, the 50mm might be superfluous with some of those... (especially the Sigma which is pretty quick anyway).
Basically, I am after some thoughts on the issue! So any comments/ideas/suggestions would be very welcome!
