Finding the right Lens
| Posted at 05:09 PM on July 04, 2009 |
Do you know how hard it is to find the right camera lens? I have a Canon Rebel XS and it can take 2 different kinds. An EF and an EF-S. There are just SO many choices! I guess what it would come down to would be what I would want the lens for. Right now my kit lens (so to say) is a 18-55mm. I am looking at this one on www.cameraworld.com that is a Canon 17-55mm. Only 1 mm bigger than the one I have now, but what is cool about this one is, the fact that it is a wide angle one. I always like the wide angle photos. 
Like this..
Pretty sweet if you ask me! I think they need a camera lens helper if you ask me! You can just put your camera in and it will do the rest!
PEACE!

Canon EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS vs. Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM... right?
18mm is a wide angle already. And a 17mm will only give you 4.1 degrees more. So I don't think it'll help you that much in focal length.
If its the lenses that I posted at the top, you're advantage will come in the lens speed of the 17-55 lens, as its f/2.8 throughout the whole range. So definitely a better lens. (Buy it and sell your 18-55!)
Also, realize that the 17-88 is a larger lens, and is over 3x the weight.
