My father got me a good deal
A canon 7d
50mm 1.8
17-50 2.8 tamron
all for about 2k
I'm getting it tomorrow. I know it may seem that I am in a rush but I'm also looking for one or two other lenses.
I have a budget of about 1k right now of my own money so I want to spend it wisely. In the next month I am considering of getting one these options
Option A medium fast telephoto and new prime
70-200 f4l (non is)
and another prime (looking at 28mm 1.8 or 50mm 1.4 I need some direction on good reasonably priced primes)
Option B fast telephoto
70-200 2.8 (non is)
Option C new walk around lens
24-105L is usm (not very wide on the canon 7d though with the crop factor though but great image quality).
I'm going to see how the tamron works out (has some great reviews, the 17-55 is seemed a little overpriced and the tamron has image quality that it definitely on par with the canon) and see if I use 2.8 alot. I am shooting mostly photojournalism type subjects so the 2.8 speed would help. I shoot video predominately though, but I love stills too. (I'm so excited about the 7d I can't even sleep tonight, now I have a still and video camera).
Any comments are appreciated. (Btw I know that the 70-200 2.8 and 24-105 are about 1200, slightly over my price range, but I could save a little longer if necessary).
