With my canon 350D i have the following lens
18-55mm as standard
zoom 100-300 lens
0.45x super wide angle lens
plus some macro magnification lens, they seem to work;)

Which other EF lens would you recommend to get the best out of the 350d.
I like taking landscape, portrait and wildlife photos..

Just dont get technical with your answers as i see a lens as a lens, and i dont really understand what the differences are.....


Cheers Ian
 
If you like portrait work, I suppose the EF 50mm f1.8 would be a handy addition - cheap (about £80 from kerso on here), and a really nice length for head and shoulders portraits on crop sensors. Wide aperture (f1.8) to allow you to keep person in focus, but blur the background - handy for "busy" backgrounds.
 
Landscape is covered with your kit lens and I guess wildlife is sort of covered by the 100-300, so I agree with BY that the nifty seems to be the way to go if you want to get into portraits. At f1.8 you will get a nice blurred background, which is always nice in portraits.

Have you considered that another handy addition may be lighting, if you want to take your portraiture further?

Also, are you happy with the image quality from your current lens as that could also be an area for change.
