hi guys just ordered my canon 450d and i am looking to buy 2 additional lenses one for close ups and other for zoom can you advice on which ones cheap as poss plz :bonk:
 
If value for money is a consideration, you can't go wrong with the 50mm f/1.8 II - the so-called nifty-fifty. Very good for low light work and portrait photography.

kerso knocks them out to TP members at £80 delivered in the Classifieds forum. Or they change hand used at £60-65.
 
what kind of stuff do you want to do? Are you wanting to do Macro shots? there are some zoom lenses that can do a fair Macro shot but if you want true Macro then you want dedicated and TBH it may be worth spending on a better qualty Zoom (70-300 IS)and an extension tube to do Macro untill you are sure :)

The real question is how much is not much money?
 
wait hang on...when i checked it before it said £73.13 yet now its got 81.44 weird. plus it had no mention of bein an import!
 
Canon 55-250mm is a good budget zoom lens for the price , you can pick them up brand new for around £150 . Most picks in my flickr have been taken with it .
 
Oh and dont forget the fact that if you buy a macro lens then they normally make a cracking Portrait lens too. I have the canon 100mm Macro and when at Kew Gardens it never came off and I only took a few Macro shots. It is such a sharp lens :)
 
when i say close up i love to shoot flowers as for zoom i like to do landscape my budget is affraid £150 so if i can get 1 decent one for close up will do for now then i can safe again hope this helps sorry for not being more pacific earlier and thankyou for your responses.. :thumbs:
 
did you get the kit lens? if so at 18-55 it should do for your lanscape shots as you want it nice and wide (I thought anyway).

as someone has said try the Canon 55-200 lens for about 150 new or you can go for a IS version secondhand for about 190 http://www.mifsuds.com have one in the secondhand section at the moment or look in the classifieds :)
 
Good choice!
