Lenses for Canon Rebel XS?

Question

Hello!
I have a Canon Rebel XS with its standard lens, and a macro lens.
Now, I am interested in a fisheye distortion lens and any other lens that can provide unique and dynamic photo taking.
And does the lens specifically have to be a Canon lens?

Please offer educated answers! I am wanting to go professional with photography!

Answer 1

I have had issues with third party lenses in the past (especially Tamron). The only glass I put on my Canon camera is Canon.



A Canon fisheye lens will run you $1,400. If you want another style to play with, look at the Tilt-Shift lenses, but the Canon TS are $1,350 to $2,500... http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup



You can find other brands for cheaper, but you normally get what you pay for (photography is NOT cheap)....although one day I might break down and get a LensBaby (just for S&G's)... http://www.lensbaby.com/lenses.php?gclid=CLDr1e-Zm6kCFUMUKgodRUbMvg

Answer 2

You good judgment is humorous the two Nikon and Canon produce the cameras that the professionals use and actual there has been a swing in the direction of Nikon's over Canon interior the previous few years, because of the fact the creation of the Nikon D3 with its stunning low noise at intense ISO overall performance. With the two digital camera form, the 18-fifty 5 mm is an surprising beginners lens. it could produce panorama, team and head and shoulder pictures. For taking photos closeups, you will prefer a solid macro lens like the 60 mm f/2.8 For taking photos activities, action or some organic international, the Nikkor fifty 5-3 hundred mm or Canon fifty 5-250 mm lens are solid ones as get admission to point, sub $2,000 lenses

Answer 3

Very few professionals use a fisheye.



The cheapest is a 8mm f3.5 that's sold under various names including bower and tiffen.



There's a very decent tokina 10-17 but that's not doing as much distortion as the 8mm.

I tend to stay away from third-party lenses. They will work, of course, but I demand higher quality for my work.
