I am interested in taking advantage of the Canon triple
rebate program to switch from my Nikon Coolpix 8400 to the Digital Rebel XT. I do close-up photography of flowers and wide angle montages of Chicago city scenes. I would like advice on the best set of lenses to get with the Rebel XT. Under the triple rebate program (http://www.usa.canon.com/nfl), I will get a $225 rebate on the Rebel XT as long as I purchase two additional Canon lenses from those on the rebate list. Canon's zoom lenses for digital cameras are NOT on the list so I have been considering getting a macro lens and a telephoto or tele zoom lens. Which of the following would be best (trying to keep the price down)? EF 50mm f/2.5 compact Macro ($240 less $40 rebate). EF 100mm f/2.8 macro ($470 less $60 rebate). (I rather like normal perspective in my macro shots, which would favor the 50mm) EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM ($660 less $75 rebate) (I really can't afford this or the 400 F/5.6L) Zoom tele EF 75 – 300 f/4-5.6 III ($160 less $15 rebate) Zoom tele EF 70 - 300 f/4-5.6 IS ($570 less $45 rebate) Then in addition I need a wide angle zoom. Can I get by with one of the Sigma lenses (The 18-125 @ $245 or the 18-200 @ $325)? Or are the more expensive Canon lenses (like the EF-s 17-85 f/4-5.6 @ $600) really superior? I've seen a number of reviews indicating that the EF-s 18-55 @$140) isn't really all that good. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! |
