Canon XTi

Canon 18-55 IS

Canon 50mm f/1.8


working on getting a Canon 70-300. If you ever want to get rid of yours, I got a .17HMR I'll trade you for it. :)



outdoorms, if your talking about the $80 50mm f/1.8 you bought, that's the one I have. Although it is f/1.8, it's still an $80 lens. Does take some great pictures, but focus is loud and slow. My wife uses that lens more for when she goes to do some bridal / engagement pictures and its cloudy out.

Canon Rebel XSI
18-55mm
55-250mm

Just got it last week so I am still reading up on it and haven't been able to shoot many pics. Seems to be pretty user friendly tho as this is my first DSLR.

Not sure you will like it for indoors being it's a fixed lens. I frequently find myself to close to subjects when I shoot the 50mm even outdoors. You will find yourself moving alot trying to get all you want in the frame. Not like a zoom lens where you can later crop your image. Nothing like a 16-35mm f/2.8 (full frame) or 17-55mm f/2.8 IS (crop frame) if you know what I mean. I'm merely saying don't get your expectations to high for it, afterall it is a cheap lens and the body is plastic. I had a friend of mine buy one shortly after me for his XSI, the lens came apart on him. Basically had to nearly damage the ring on the camera to get the lens off and I think he even damaged the pins for the autofocus. He boxed it up and returned it to Amazon.com (same place I bought mine). Knock on wood, I've had 0 problems with mine.

I'm shooting a 1d mark IX with 900mm f 2.8. :lol:

Seriously though, 7d with 100-400 L. Way more camera than skill at the moment, which is par for the course.
