[QUOTE="SpeedyManiac, post: 1287082, member: 19453"] Hi guys, I have a major dilemma. I qualified to race the ISDE again, this year in Greece (September 1-6/08). I've been talking to some friends and some magazines and am now also going to attend the Romaniacs (Sept. 13-17) in Sibiu, Romania to get some photos and provide a race report on Canadian Shane Cuthbertson. When I was in Chile I only had my Canon G3 P&S with a 1.75x tele convertor and got lots of great shots. Since then I've upgraded to a Canon 30D currently with an EF28-135 IS lens. I love this camera and the lens is great. The only downfall is 28mm on a APS-C sized sensor isn't wide enough (equiv. 50mm). I'm looking at picking up a second lens and need some thoughts. There's two lenses I've been looking at adding to my collection but I think I can only afford one at the moment. The two lenses are: -Canon EF-S 10-22, retail $800 -Tamron 18-250, retail $500 I want the Canon because I really enjoy wide angle photos. I think they provide a unique perspective. I've read a ton of reviews on the Canon and Sigma wide angle (10-20, retail $650) and I think the Canon is worth the extra $150. I want the Tamron as a walk around, do it all lens. I do a lot of backcountry ski touring in the winter and need a lightweight lens to cover pretty every focal length. Since I mostly shoot sports image stabilization isn't a huge issue, especially in the winter when really fast equipment isn't really necessary. And I'll probably keep my 28-135 IS for 'normal' focal lengths in low light. Right now I'm leaning towards getting the Canon right now and waiting until the winter to buy the Tamron. I figure when I'm in Europe I'll need the wide angle more than extreme telephoto (scenery, architecture, etc). The only time I might want a bit more telephoto is at the Romaniacs, but I figure my 28-135 (50-216 effective focal length) should suffice since a lot of guys get away using a 70-200 zoom on full frame cameras. Thoughts? Should I be buying the Tamron first and wait on the Canon? [/QUOTE]
