I currently have a XSI and am still debating on the 5D II or waiting on the III but I'll figure that out
Either way I'm looking to buy an additional lens. I currently have a Sigma 50mm that pretty much lives on my camera now since I can't stand the kit lenses that came with my XSI after shooting with a prime. I've read about the 24, 35 and 70-200 and they all seem to be really good lenses. I don't make money taking photos (not yet anyways) but want a versatile lens that will last me a really long time. I'm basically looking for opinions on what lenses typically live on your cameras and what you mostly shoot?
I know I visited Rome and was disappointed I couldn't get good pictures with my 50mm on the crop body of a lot of the architecture but enjoy shooting portraits and like the 70-200 for the range it has but it doesn't seem like the kind of lens you can throw on a camera and over your shoulders for an afternoon.
I will shoot some video too, not sure if that matter much but figured I'd throw it out there.
