Hello Newschoolers. I'm currently in the market for buying a zoom lens primarily for photography. I will be using this lens on my Canon t2i. I already have a Tamron 17-50mm 2.8, which works great for filming and a good amount of pictures, but I have realized that I am taking more pictures than I was expecting to, and would like to be closer to the subject in a lot of my pictures. Thanks for your help! Also willing to use vintage glass if that seems like a good option.
First, start with your budget. How much money do you have to spend?
Willing to spend up to $500, but wouldn't mind spending a good amount less.
Second, what kind of lens do you need? What will you be using it for?
Zoom Lens, somewhere around the 70-200mm. Taking pictures of mostly people skiing, and whatever life brings me. Also a good amount of nature stuff.
Do you want something that is fast (good in low light)?
Hopefully, but not 100% necessary.
Do you want a prime or a zoom?
Zoom for the flexibility.
What lenses do you already have?
Tamron 17-50mm 2.8
