I am purchasing a Canon 50D, and will likely upgrade to the 5D mark II later. Should i invest in EF or EF-S lenses?
I personally think one should buy lenses to suit their present needs. My standard lens is an EF-S 17-55 F2.8 IS USM (£600 or $1000) and that can’t be used on a full frame. I see myself going to full frame in the future but think that if I can afford full frame then I will also be able to afford selling the 17-55 and buying a new lens, if there is one better, or to probably keep the 17-55 and do the same. I would have thought you’ll be waiting a few years before full frame – you need to familiarise with the cameras and learn how to use them to their potential, only when you are at their limits upgrading. Telephoto – Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS, Canon 70-200 F4 IS, Canon 70-200 F4, Sigma 70-200 F2.8, Canon 70-300 IS, Sigma 50-150 Wide Angle – Sigma 10-20, Canon 10-22, Tokina 11-16, Tokina 12-24, Tamron 11-18 In each case in the order I rate them. I have all of the first options – 17-55IS, 70-200 2.8 IS, 10-20 and they are all stunning lenses. Glass will last forever, Cameras will come and go. S
