I currently have a Canon 50D and the 28-70 f2.8 l lens. I am an amateur photographer who likes to take nice pictures when out with the family, whether on vacation or at the park. Well I call them nice, but pros might think different.
I am now in the market for a 2nd lens. I have rented the 70-200 f4 L IS when I went on a cruise last year and really enjoyed it. I think I am ok with the slightly slower glass for the decrease in weight. My 28-70 is heavy enough. If price and weight were not an option I might consider the 70-200 f2.8.
I am also looking at the canon 10-22 f3.5-4.5. Which seems to have some good reviews and appears to be the best choice for a wide angle lens on a cropped body.
While i understand you guys cannot predict what I will be taking pictures of, I was hoping with your expertise you can advise as to which I would get more use with.
My kids are 8-11 so taking picture of them doing what 8 and 11 year olds do is important.
I would hate to buy the wide angle and find myself always using the 28-70 because situations didn't arise often to use the 10-22, or wishing I had the 70-200. Or vice verse.
I know each photographer is different, but I am hoping there are some other parents or pros on here that can give me a little nudge. Both are expensive investments.
Thanks in advance
