can anyone recomend a zoom lens for my eos 1v......................................... its a pro camera it seems like the only thing that is recomended are L mount lenses.$$$....
it doesnt have to be a canon lens. vivitar, sigma, etc. but a zoom lens. There's no rule saying that you have to buy an L lens for a pro camera. It's just highly recommented as the quality of the lens matches the capability of your pro range camera body.
To cover a wider range, you can try canon EF 28-135 IS, sigma 18-200, tamron 18-250 or other similar zoom lenses that would meet your needs. There are many to choose from depending on your needs (e.g Wide angle, mid-zooms, tele zooms).
However, do check that the newer models of 3rd party lenses (non-canon) are compatible with your 35mm 1v as some lenses are made just for digital bodies. If I were in your shoes, I would get a Tamron 28-75 f2.8 or Sigma 24-70 f2.8 DG Macro.
The Tamron lens is known to be sharp and it's a full-frame coverage, so is the Sigma.
If you do not need a fast lens, you could get the EF 28-105 or some other EF lenses.
At the end of the day, it depends on the image quality you require as well your usage. If you're going to use it outdoors most of the time, most lenses will meet your needs. |
