I have 1000$ to blow...what should i buy?

[drshottest718]

10-22 Canon 640$
Nifty Fifty- 80$
Battery Grip- 80$
430ex- 210$

Total-1010$

Or should i replace the 10-22 Canon with a Sigma 50-220 4.5/5.6 and a Canon 60mm 2.8 Macro?

I figured i might as well get the most expensive lens out of the way now considering the Sigma is just a bit over 100$ and the 60mm Macro Canon can wait...

Im shooting on a Canon 350d(xt), i also thought about sacrificing 10-22 to have some money on the side for a new tripod, because my current Velbon one is made of plastic and its quite flimsy. :cry:

Tripod all the way.

On the other hand it doesn't matter how you blow it. It'll all be fun.

If that is what you need then i would get it,,,,Looks like a deal to me

[drshottest718]

I really just want the $600+ lens out of the way because im a broke college student lol and the tripod for 200$ or so is more accessible later on.

Save yourself some money on the Canon and get a Sigma 10-20 instead. Otherwise, assuming you know why you want all that stuff, list looks good. The grip is essential!

As is a tripod...

With the price difference being almost 200$ and checking out the archive for the pics posted the sharpness and colors are almost if not as good the Canon's images....I guess i can use that 200$ for a new tripod and other accesories.

Ok one more question...
should i go for the EF 70-200 f/4L and the nifty 50. or the sigma 10-20 nifty fifty and a sigma 55-200 for telephoto?

Do you shoot a lot of UWA? If so, get the 10-20. Or do you need the reach?

Otherwise, I'd go with the 70-200L f4 and 50. You can't go wrong with either of those two lenses.

i'd get the canon 10-22 and a new tripod. i just got the 10-22 and love it so far.
