photography ladies

Hi ladies!  I am buying a Canon Rebel XS online and it comes with the 35-80 lens.  I will mainly be using it to take pictures of my son and I wasn't sure if I'd need the 18-55 lens for that.  The lenses seem to have a lot of overlap, but I want to get the best quality pictures.TIA!

Re: photography ladies

  • We have a 35-80 and a 50mm we have a Nikon D5000
  • I have an 18-55mm, it came with my camera. Its ok, but I was thinking about getting something like the 35mm.

  • I'd get the 50mm 1.8 lens.  The kit lenses aren't all that wonderful, but the "nifty fifty" is the best lens for not a lot of money.

    Big ditto to this.  The only downside I've found to the 50 is that it can be hard to get full body shots because you need to be sort of far away.  Pretty much all of my shots since Christmas have been with the 50mm 1.8 though.  I have the XSi.

    You'll love it :) I ordered it at the same time as my camera, but it came about a week apart.  Since I put it on, I haven't taken it off :)
