Hi
My first post here so hope it is in the right place. I am looking for some advice on lenses to purchase. I am in the process of updating some of my gear and having a tough time deciding. I just upgraded to the Canon 7D and also have an old XTi as a second body. I will probably be sticking with the cropped bodies for the foreseeable future. I currently have the Canon 10-22, 28-135 kit lens, and 50mm 1.4. I am mostly into nature/landscape photography but I also do some portraits and the occasional wedding through referrals from friends. I have also have become interested in wildlife photography and birds. Here is a list of lenses I have been considering. My budget right now is about $2500.
Canon 17-55 2.8
Canon 15-85
Canon 70-200 f4
Canon 70-200 f2.8 II
Canon 100-400
Canon 300 f4
Canon 17 ts-e
Obviously if I go with the 70-200 f2.8 or the 17mm ts-e that is all I can afford right now. I can pair most of the other lenses with either of the wide zooms.
So what does every one think have for suggestions. I am interested in everyones 2 cents?
Anything else I should consider?
Thanks
