Camera Musings

[fairyrune]

For some time now, I've been contemplating buying this lens for my DSLR.

I read a review of it the other day which said, in short, "Eh. It's ok."

Then I realized that since I already have a 18-55mm lens, and a 75-300mm lens, the only real advantage to spending five hundred some odd dollars on that one is that I'd have to change lenses less often.

Now I'm thinking that maybe I should just keep saving my money for a fisheye lens some months from now. That one retails for about seven hundred, so I should be good to go some time after Holidaymas.

Or do I want to buy something else entirely?

Why did I get into this hobby again?

Oh, right. Grandpa. Also, it's fun.

There's also this flash I want to buy, but that's a matter of considerably less angst, as there are far fewer choices when it comes to Speedlites.

When I started buying lenses for my camera, I was told to never overlap. I don't see why you'd need that lens with the lens you already have. If it was me, I'd go for a wide angle. I've got the Sigma 10-20 and I use that lens the most out of all of mine.
