I've been reading and want to ask once in the open just to clarify before buying I could really use some advice. I am jumping into the canon 7D and could really use some help on recommending a couple lenses. I am getting the 7D body only and need a walk around lens that can be used primarily for video but also for pics very limited. It will see both night and day work, handheld and tripod, auto and manual, a general work horse. Looking at the $500-$700 range. But would also welcome your thoughts on a more expensive lens. Something like the sigma, or canon 17-55 2.8 is or tamron sp af17-50 f/2.8 xr di-ll vc ld aspherical (if) .
Also going to pick up a series of Nikon primes. I’ll need to stay cheaper on these. Looking at a 24 2.8 , 50 1.2 , 85 1.4 , and something longer also. What do you advise stick with the AI and AIS?
Would appreciate any thoughts or advice you . Want to go wide as possible for 16:9 when needed. Thoughts on IS, AF, macro, constant aperature, etc, anything I need to look out for appreciated. I’m researching and scrambling to get the knowledge but have to get a project done here soon also. Being creative is not the problem and I know there will be a constant learning curve with the gear which is ok. Just need some sound experience on the purchases so my foundation is solid as money is always an issue.
Thanks
