Cover Canon
I need to pick one or two lenses for a canon rebel xsi.?
What would be a good combo that would cover almost all circumstances?
(all canon lenses)
18-55mm, 17-85mm, 28-135mm, 55-250mm
We have a trip to Europe coming up and would like one of the lenses to be a good walk-around lens, so we won’t have to be switching.
18-55 mm and 55-250 mm will give you the most coverage with the least pain to your savings account. The 28-135 mm is just not wide enough for shooting the amazing buildings found in the quaint towns throughout Europe.
If you can, save for the 18-200 mm IS lens. It is very versatile and you will not have to be changing lenses all the time. This will protect your sensor from dust intrusion. I use the Nikon version for almost all my editorial work.
When shooting travel assignments, I carry a 10-24 mm wide angle zoom and 18-200 mm VR. Those two lenses cover about 90% of what I may want to shoot. I also carry a 60 mm macro lens which comes in handy when shooting details of some subjects.
