  • Thanks for advice man! I need to get some 2.8 lens too. I can already tell You that Tamron 18-270 is great buy. Really nice image quality up to 200m. They could improved AF becouse it's a bit slow... but it is good walk around lens!

  • @LaczupakabraPL I assumed you would like that lens. These variable aperture long zoom lenses are very nice to use. The large (2.8-1.2) aperture lenses are expensive but just give you more options. I love that Tamron you have! I'll bet it's great!

  • What do you for a living?

  • @a7xwii I have worked with a concrete supplier for 15 years. I am in operations now. I am not liking this line of work and plan to get out SOON. I hope to create my own business with my knowledge of computers, photography, tech. I have always wanted to work for myself. Why do you ask?

  • I would get a 7d and a 50mm 1.8, then save up for the other lenses if i had to do it all over again.

  • @S8OR No. The Tamron 17-35 is a variable aperture lens and not nearly as well made. They are apples and oranges. Still...Tamron and Sigma have decent 17-50mm F/2.8 lenses. I would look at those if you need to save some money.

  • I would buy a 500d with 24-105 f4 L lens.

  • True its all in the glass. Invest in lens as they will stay with you for years, camera bodies will be upgraded say every 2-3 years. Good advice Nate.

  • @nate42nd You seem to live quite comfortably I was just wonder what you did to have the income to afford so many gadgets.
