Hi all,
I would love some lens advice, I currently have a canon 50d with the stock lens which is the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM Lens
I am going on holiday next month to a dream location and I have been considering buying a new lens, either in addition or to replace the kit lens.
I have a f/1.8 50mm lens which I love, it was cheap as chips and it's light so I am going to take that anyway. Thing is I am not sure whether to replace my existing general lens or buy a new prime.
Someone in my family has the Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom and they love it, but I am not sure whether to go for it or not.
I have also been looking at the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L USM but not sure if this is a bit beyond my budget as it's very expensive and whether I am buying something my skill level won't fully utilise.
Any other suggestions would be greatly received. Something with a high aperture would be the dream as I will be mostly hand holding the camera and will be taking a lot of photos in low light but understand my budget might not stretch to this.
Many thanks in advance!
