I need help deciding on my next purchase for a lense but im not really good at telling which one is the right one for me!!!


so, Im asking for help!!


im looking for two lenses, a telephoto zoom and a fisheye lense

the telephoto doesnt need to be able to zoom in on someones nose hair from across a stadium, but I'd like more zoom then I have right now.

and for the fisheye, what do you use? or what WOULD you use?!

PLUS I need their PRICES!

my camera is a canon eos slr 40d

i don't know much about fisheye lenses (i'm actually thinking about getting one soon so let me know what you decide!) but i have the 70-200 L f/4.0 series lens and I am just obsessed with it. it always makes portraits so soft, and action photos are in such good focus. It's fast and quiet and it's pretty light too which is nice. It's never let me down and I would recommend it to anyone. Most of the photos in my gallery are shot with it.

I have this lens too - 70-200 L f/4.0 and it is AMAZING.

What lenses do you have?

How much zoom do you have now? I have a 28-105 zoom and it isn't enough for my taste. For zoom I'd look into a 300mm. They have ones that start at about $200, but that is a basic lens.

yeah it's pricey, but it's the best you can buy for that amount. i think if you buy one that costs less you're just going to be unhappy and want to buy a new one anyway. I think it's better to just wait and save up some more and then get something you will be happy with and not want to replace. Plus they hold their value very well which is why it's near impossible to find a used one for any less!

Yes, how much zoom do you already have? I love my Dad's 70-200 f/2.8 with IS for any action type shots outdoors, although for outdoor work you prbably could do fine with an f/4.0. I also have a 28-105 but find it's not quite enough for my liking. Also - if you're going to go with 200 or more zoom you really should get IS. It costs more, but saves you from a crapload of blurry pictures.

Renegade - is your 28 - 105 a Tamron?
