Re: Lens Advice: 2 Mid-Level Primes or 1 L-Series Wide Angle Zoom

You will lose more than you gain with any of the 3 you listed .

I would look at / get the 10-22 , then one of the 70-200's or the 100-400 .

I have the 28 2.8 , 35 2 and 50 1.8 - I don't carry them  and they are in bag with the old XTI .

Try to get a range [ mm ] you don't have unless you find your shots are at one MM .

Try to stay with one brand and filter size . People will say I am crazy for choosing a lens by filter size - but if you shoot a lot - your hand will fit one size lens better than another . Big difference between holding a 52 mm filter lens and a 77 mm lens .

If you care or are wondering - I prefer 77 mm then 72 mm .
