Which lens to bring for event?

[JoshD]

I am attending a "Dream Machine" event in Half Moon Bay, Ca this Sunday. It is at the local airport and showcases all kinds of planes, cars, military aircraft, custom cars etc etc. I plan on bringing my Rebel xSi with me. Which lens would be most appropriate to walk around with and snap pics do you think?

18-55 IS
50mm
75-300mm ( I think I can rule this out out maybe)

Thanks!

It's an easy choice for me - 18-55 IS.

I don't see where you have any options with these lenses. The only one you would probably be able to get any pictures with is the 18-55 IS. This lens would give you the wide angle you will probably need for most shots and also cover what the 50mm would do if it was needed. I would think the long zoom would be of no use here, Jeff

The only way I'd bring the long zoom would be if they are having an airshow and you want to get airplanes in flight, or if you'd looking at getting some random candid shots in there.

By all mean with what you have available the 18-55 is the lens to go with. I'm assuming that it's an outdoor event and the light will not be a problem. If there are indoor exhibits It'd stick the 50mm in a pouch or pocket for low light available light shots.

18-55 i think

reason being, is you have wide enough if you need it, and a little range if you need it too

good luck
