Canon 50D with 28 - 235mm Lens + 70 - 300mm IS telephoto lens
+ backpack carry case all for 1859.97
Is this a good deal and will those two lenses be enough for my two main focuses (Photojournalism/sports) and portrait modeling. Would I still need the "Nifty 50 lens"
just to clarify, its the 50D with a 28-235mm? i have not heard of this lens before.
are you sure its not the 28-135mm lens?
i think you need a lens at 18mm personally, but i like my wide angles.
also the nifty fifty is a barging and will still come in useful for low light! i have an 18-105 and 70-300 and i will still get the 50mm for low light use.
