So, as a proud owner of a 20D, and an EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM from the same company, I'm wondering about my future purchases, which I'm sure I'll have.......
My budget can go to whatever, I'm willing to save and wait and skimp on groceries if necessary to get L series lenses. I'm more of a "just do it right the first time" guy.
That aside, I'm torn between trying to get a more "universal" lens, covering many needs in one, or getting 2 lenses, each being a bit better on the extremes of the range.
Specifics:
EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM is the option for the more universal
or:
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM (or the IS one, I'm torn)
My thoughts:
The one lens has very good range, but could be a hair too slow for indoor action/low light action shots, which is what makes me think I should go for 2 lenses and have better results. My current lens is pushing the limits for inside shots, I wish it was a bit faster, but the lens is great regardless.
My one concern is just lugging around multiple lenses if I just want to do something simple, like maybe take pics indoors of family/friends/pets, etc. Having one that could give me reach, as well as speed, would be great, almost like a fail-safe.
I'm rambling, and thinking outloud, my apologies.
Any thoughts on the issue?
