70-200 f4 L OR mid range 28-135 /18-200 IS

Hi Guy,

as what my signature mention , i hold a kits 15-55mm II , 55mm f1.8

As mostly i shoot my baby i can use 55mm and the kits lense.

Now i plan to add 1 more lense into the family , being wonder
shall i take the 70/200 f4 L or a mid range 28-135 IS/18-200 IS ?

since you already have 18-55mm is and 50mm 1.8, all you need to add a 55-250mm is lens in that line up and call it a day. that will give you a coverage of 18mm to 250mm. 70-200mm f4l is certainly sharper, and with more contrast and color but doesn't have image stabilization, so you have shoot at a high shutter speed to avoid getting blurry picture.

True , it is what the shopper said but my 350D ISO is till 1600 only.

Go L if you can. Covering all the focal lengths is not necessary. Right now all I use is a 70-200mm and a 28mm f/2.8. It covers my tele and wide angle needs. Looking to buy a 17-40L soon though.

I do love the 70-200mm f/4.0 and really, if you just have steady hands and a good grip you will probably not feel the need for IS.

steady hands is something which i lack on , let me look around youtube to find somethign to train our my hand..

If you don't have steady hands - save for the 70-200mm f/4 IS.

Or you can follow the advice of many professionals, and use a tripod. Lets face it, i would not call the 70-200 focal length to be a casual walking around lens, especially when it is put onto a crop camera.

IS doesn't do anyone any benefit if the subject that you are shooting is moving. If you are getting a longer lens just to round out your collection, then you might consider yourself on the slippery slope. When are you going to add in the Macro Lens, and the ultra telephoto not to mention you must have the Ultra Wide Angle too.

I'd start of by asking yourself what you are planning to shoot with this lens. And also consider what other equipment would be just as important. Like a good tripod. A remote cable release. A good flash.

Personally I would go with the 70-200f/4 as it's an incredible lens. This will open up a whole load of other shooting avenues to you and is one of those lens that you'll keep a lifetime as they honestly don't come much better.
