Title: Las Vegas Nights and Grand Canyon - Best Lens under $400 for site Post by: blazer on June 08, 2009, 02:28:02 PM Hello all,
I'm heading to Vegas and Grand Canyon and was trying to get some expert opinions on which one lens would best be purchased under $400.00 would produce the best results? I'm taking with me a Canon 50D and kit lens ( the 28-135mm). I am not going to have room for a tripod so I was thinking a fast lens such as the 50mm 1.4 might work best or even the least expensive 50mm 1.8. Any input on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Title: Re: Las Vegas Nights and Grand Canyon - Best Lens under $400 for site Post by: Bob Atkins on June 08, 2009, 05:20:51 PM If I was going to the Grand Canyon, I'd want something wider than a 28mm on a 50D.
There's the EF-S 10-22, though it's now well over $700. However the new Tamron 10-24/3.5-4.5 (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001G7PIBC/bobatkinsphotogr) is only just over $400 and would go well with the 28-135. You probably would not miss the 25-27mm range! The EF 50/1.8 II (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00007E7JU/bobatkinsphotogr) is always a good lens to have for low light work. The price has been rising on that one, but you can still get it for under $100.

For merging wide panoramas, keep the camera in manual mode and forgo the polarizer.

If you can spend just a few hundred more, I recommend the EF 17-40mm Ultra Wide. Excellent wide angle lens for sharp landscape shots. You can get super panorama shots on your trip of the Strip and the Canyon. Chose a high vantage point and add some artistic qualities with your photo editing software. |
