Did a little photography with the cousins’ dog today. Got to try out a 100mm macro lens. This has convinced me to buy a Sigma Zoom Normal-Telephoto 55-200mm f/4-5.6 DC Autofocus Lens for Canon Digital EOS. I know it’s a little on the cost-effective side, but it has good reviews and should do me well for some portraiture and more action shots with the dog, provided I get a clear day. f-Stop starts at 4. I’d prefer 2.8, but I can’t shell out more money for a lens right now. If this lens doesn’t work out, I’ll just return it. Please look at my photos on flickr and leave me some comments.

Why not skip the zoom and get something with at least f/2.8? Sure, it’ll be a little harder to get a good frame without the zoom, but you’ll be able to shoot in sub par lighting conditions and it’ll save you a ton of cash.

I can’t afford that kind of glass right now and I’d rather have the zoom because I will be doing mostly outdoors and portraiture more often than low-lit concerts. When I can afford a 1.8-2.8 lens, I will definitely pick one up
