Re: 600D Lens Progression

Welcome first time poster. You would have to decide what benefits you would achieve before buying another lens. I used the Canon T3i (600D) camera for years. At the same time I used the Canon 18-55mm and Canon 55-250mm lenses. For me, subject matter has been key for me. I don't have to be that concerned about extra sharpness. My upgrade path (away from the kit lenses) was to get a Tamron 150-600mm lens. Later I bought a Canon 18-135mm USM lens. I like them a lot and had good reasons for both of them. Also I had to consider the cost.

You might want to ask people on the Canon SLR Lens Talk forum. My feeling about upgraded lenses is that you pay a lot to get a little more, in a very general way. Would that give you what you need?

I don't concern myself with what direction Canon is going with DSLR or mirrorless cameras either. For I know, that what we use now will be good for years. When things change, we'll change with them, but it doesn't have to be right away.

This was taken last year with my Canon T2i (550D) camera and the Canon 18-55mm kit lens. How much better would we expect from a much more expensive lens? I don't think very much, but maybe those people on that lens forum can show you those differences.
