Tamron Fisheye Lens For Canon
Canon XTI lenses .. help !?
hey 
after a LOT of thinking i’ve decided to get the canon xti, it’s light and i think it meets my needs reffering a dslr…but i’ve got a couple of cuestions…since i’m saving some money (considering i wanted the sony a700), i’d like to get a lense or two…
i photograph basically everything, and i really want to grow into a proffessional in the field. landscapes, portraits, macro, night…the point is that i have no idea what lense to get, since this would be my first slr…
considering that the kit lense is the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, i was thinking about getting the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens…i’ve also always loved pictures taken with the fisheye, so i was considering the Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens with 0.25x Fisheye Lens…
i’m not quite sure about the performance of third party lenses, but i’m sure someone will be able to help me out, or recomend me any other lense that’d work for me…
thanks in advance!
Well, the 18-55mm is a good lens to start off with; the 75-300mm telephoto is an okay telephoto. But I don’t see the logic in getting the 28-80mm lens (which covers focal lengths covered by your first two lenses).
The 0.25 “lens” isn’t really a lens in the regular sense, but instead an adapter that screws on the front of a real lens. However, it’ll give you a poor quality fisheye, but if you just want a cheap fisheye look, I guess it’ll do.
In any case, I’d get the basic lens to start off with, and then decide where your photography needs to go before buying another lens. Then buy according to your needs; you may decide you want a higher quality telephoto zoom for example, or you may want to go wider first, then telephoto.
Tamron, Tokina, and Sigma lenses are fine third-party lenses, but there are variations between samples and performance differences from the OEM Canon lenses (example: very slight color tints vs. neutral colors from an OEM lens). A Tamron/tokina/Sigma lens might be better than or worse than an equivalent Canon too.

Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 with Precision Design 0.25x Fisheye Lens Kit for Canon Digital SLR Cameras $129.95 This 28-80mm AF zoom lens is the perfect wide-angle lens for when you just can t move mountains. The wide angle effect broadens the angle of view while increasing the depth of field so objects near and far are in focus at the same time. The lens zooms from a wide 28mm quickly to a medium telephoto range of 80mm. It is great for cityscapes outdoor panoramas room interiors and group shots. The aspherical elements in the front group reduce the number of elements required while the use of strong engineering plastic in the barrel make the body light for travel. A excellent addition to any outfit. |
