Dear list members I have been a member of the mailing list for almost a year but have never particpated out of sheer fear. You guys posses L series lenses and EOS 3, 1, etc. which leave alone possessing I have not seen in my city, Calcutta, India. Calcutta, for that matter, India is more of a Nikon fan. I have a EOS 500N (Rebel G) with a 28-80 zoom. Camera equipment is very expensive in India and on my slalary I can not even dream about L series lenses. I want to buy the EF 22-55 which is amazingly cheap. I only take pictures when I am travelling and will never publish.
Is this lens as good (or bad) as the 28-80? If it is of the same quality then I do not mind buying the 22-55. Then 28-80 is really bad but if used within its limitation is not bad for me at the present. If rarely use it wider than f/8. I hane seen photographs taken by Ken Durling with an EF 75-300mm and I am impressed. This is the only telephoto zoom readily available here in India. The latest Tamron 70-300 macro is also available. I am now torn between the EF 75-300 and the Tamron 70-300. Buying the Tamron will give me basic macro abilities. I think attaching a close up attachment to the EF 75-300 will also give good results. Anyways, could you guys help me decide: 1. EF 22-55 2. EF 75-300 or the Tamron 70-300 macro (the latest one is available in India) thanks in advance. And by the way, this is a great list.
