Yes
i have the original Canon stock 18-55 i got with the camera

but i have also bought the following

Tamron AF70-300mm F/4-5.6Di LD Macro 1:2 (just bought from Ryan (thenissanman)) couldn't resist the cheap price :lol:

Canon EF 35-70 1:3.5-4.5 bought this because i had a bit of spare cash and it seemed very cheap at £60

Canon EF nifty fifty II (from Kerso here)


have i got most things covered now?

i bought the 35-70 because i was told from a friend that it would do my watches better than the stock 18-55 with my extension tube but this is not the case:bang:

any info or advice greatly appreciated
 
You certainly have a good range in your bag, which should allow you to pursue different avenues of photography. Sometimes I think it is possible to have too many lenses, but we are probably all guilty of adding to our collections. Certainly the nifty fifty is one I suspect you will keep for a very long time, as it produces some great results.
 
The stock 18-55 is not that bad a lens...

My effort from yesterday and the first time I've really used it, personally I think it's the best photo I've personally taken (albeit with smoe good advice)...

The 35-70 adds nothing much in terms of focal length range over the kit lens, but that is probably the older 18-55 non-IS version, so you might want to upgrade that. The new lens is sharper and obviously has IS too.

The big gap is a wide-angle, around 10-20mm-ish.
 
Comparing apples with oranges I'm afraid. The 18-55 kit lens supplied with the 400D and the 18-55 IS kit lens supplied with your 500D are two completely different beasts.

Edit - Hoppy Beat me to it.
