Hi all,
I'm in need of a walk about lens, I've only got the 18-55 and regularly feel its slightly too short. I own lots of different primes up to 85mm and use a Canon 500D. I'm quite new to photography but don't really do much wildlife shots or anything like that, I prefer landscapes and own a few UWA lenses but wish to just have a walk about lens on days I want to keep lenses to a minimum.
I've come up with two/three lenses that sound about the right kind of focal length that I'd like which are kind of in my price range for used condition..
Canon 18-135mm
Canon 28-135mm
Canon 15-85mm
The 15-85 is only really justifiable if it excels above the other two, and I can find one for a decent price. I find 85mm to be quite a nice length for myself, but the extra length on the other two is always welcome.
I can't really afford to stretch to one of the L lenses like the 24-70 as much as I would like it
I was wondering if any of you had any advice/comments on any of the lenses I've listed?
Which you would consider to be the best out of them? or if there are any other lenses I should consider?
any help would be great!
Thanks,
Will
