Im still quite new to the whole digital SLR thing and i could do with some advice on buying a new lens. At the moment I've got a canon 350D with the 18-55mm kit lens.
I'm looking for a zoom lens to use for surfing photos and also to take travelling.
It has been suggested that a sigma 28-300 lens might be a good option, but I have also heard that it isn't very good for wider angle shots, and also at full 300mm length I would need to use a tripod which i dont really want to have to do.
Should i be looking for maybe an 18-200mm lens to do the lot, or a 55-200 lens and keep both lenses?
A few choices that jessops have is:
Sigma 55-200mm f/4-5.6 DC (Canon AF)
Canon EF 55-200mm F4.5/5.6 MK2 USM
Tamron 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Di II LD Macro (Canon AF)
Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Lens (Canon AF)
Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR DI (Canon AF)
Sigma 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DG Macro (Canon AF)
Any advice on these lenses would be greatly appreciated.
