First Lens You Bought...

First lens ever (besides the kit lens that came with the Rebel XT), was the thrifty fifty

First lens was kit lens but the next was Tokina 12-24 -- no regrets!

70-200f4L IS btw it worked great at the air show.

First lens I actually owned was the 18-55mm none IS that came with my 350D

This was quickly sold & an 18-55mm IS kits lens purchased [which I still use regularly] followed by a 55-250mm IS [almost permenantly attatched to my 50D as it's so versatile for such a cheap lens], then a 50mm f/1.8.

My next purchase [when funds allow] will be a 70-200mm f/2.8

thrifty fifty 50mm 1.8

50 f/1.8, then I jumped right to the 17-55 f/2.8 IS. both are awesome lenses.

Well, kit lens was the 28-135. Sold that for a 17-85. Bought the 50 1.4 and a tamron 17-50 2.8. Just got my hands on a 70-200 2.8is. Why is this such an addiction

The first dSLR I bought was a Canon 30D and with that came a Canon EF-S 17-85 IS USM as a kit lens. On the contrary to many people, I think this is a great lens even if I don't have it any more. It was replaced with a EF 24-105 F/4L IS USM and a EF-S 10-22 USM.

But the first lens I bought was the EF 70-200 F/4L IS USM, and this baby I still have. This lens is my all time favorite.

My first DSLR was the XSi which came with the 18-55 IS.

The first lens I purchased was the EF 70-200 F/4L USM.

First lenses I bought when buying my 10D in '03 was the Canon EF 28-135 IS and the Canon EF 70-300 IS

Regrets?

I still have the 28-135 and in fact have a 2nd one now (7D kit lens) ... no regrets on either of those!

The 70-300 IS ... kept it for about 9 months, never cared for it. Sold it and bought the Canon EF 100-400 L IS ... might call that a bit of an upgrade

canon 50 f/1.8 II
best 80$ ever spent.... the door-opener for photography for me.

Tamron 28-75 f/2.8

I sold the 28-135 kit lens to get it. Was a great move and I learned most everything I know about photography to this point using the Tammy lens.

First one after the kit lens with my Rebel XT was the 50/1.8II. Got it new for $65. Then came the 28-135. And L's after that!

50mm f/1.8 II (used), what a suprise

My camera came with the 18-55mm IS as the kit lens, but the first lens I ever purchased separately was the 50mm f/1.8 just like most people.
