Lens question for the wifes Christmas present
« on: December 18, 2008, 09:37:07 PM »
Earlier this year I bought the wife a canon EOS Rebel XTI.  It came with a canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6  I would like to get a better quality higher zoom lens so I, I mean she :chuckle: can take better long distant pictures.  But still be able to take good quality close ups of the kids and dead deer :chuckle:  Any suggestions, I want to stay under $500.00  Thanks for the help.

The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

If you watch Craigslist you might find it cheaper there was two on there last month for $450.00

Canon 70-200mm f4/0L

If you have more money step up to the IS

When I pass, do not let my wife sell the guns for what I told her they cost.

I have a lens just like this and I love it, you now have two different lenses that you can choose from. ;) :) The hard part is finding a dealer here in Washington that has an L series lens in stock! :(
