    Lenses for Baby Pictures w/Rebel
    I recently purchased a Canon Digital Rebel.

    My wife and I have our first baby coming any day now -- What lense(s) are recommending for photographing our new addition?

    Any recomendations or suggestions are much appreciated.

    Did you get a lens with the Canon Digital Rebel at all, or did you just buy the camera. If you want a non zoom lens, then a 50mm f/1.8 lens would be a good place to start.

    I do have the f18-55/4.0-5.6 that can be purchased with the camera and is a good starter. I am seriously considering the 50/1.8 for the speed / ability to shoot in available light. Debating whether I need some sort of zoom to shoot from farther away.

    I like a lot of others have the 28-135 IS lens which is a very nice lens to use, it is worth considering that as maybe you first reasonably good lens. The other to consider as well is the 70-200 f/4 lens, that is another top lens that is well liked and it is a Canon "L" lens as well.
