I've spent so much time trying to figure out what lens to get with D Rebel XT that I've confused myself. The lens that normally comes as part of a kit is shown as an 18-55 EF-S. Now is this a digital specific lens so that it's actuall equivalent to a 35mm 18-55 zoom lens or do I need to add in the 1.6X factor so this would really be a 28-88 equivalent?
I decided against getting the Sigma 28-300 lens. Based on comments from my last post and the links provided, I don't think it's going to give me the sharpness I want. I really like the Canon EF 24-85 USM, but it's $300. I'm trying to keep my total below $1000. I don't think I'm going to be able to do that when I add in a 1gig CF card, an extra battery, and a UV-haze filter. I've been looking at B&H Photo and Adorama. Any other places I should look that have good prices and a good reputation? Oh, I live in Houston,Tx so if there is someplace local that fits that description, please let me know.
