Ermm... I'm still considering what lens to buy...
I hv one question...
Is the difference in quality of 'kit lens' standard and those +- $800-1000 lens very large? If you have photos to compare the 2 it would be awesome~
u know what wld be awesome, if u actually google and research the lens u interested... im sure u will find the result fascinating... out of the world dude with some effort u will feel it...
You may check out flickr to see the tonnes of photos taken by kit lenses. If used correctly to its strength, kit lenses are pretty awesome.
In the real world, no one can tell what lens was used to take the photo

what lens do you have now?
I'm planning on getting the EF-S EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS and EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS~
If u have used them before, based on your experience, are they good lenses?

Its hard to answer questions like these. How do you define good? Good for what purpose?
These were taken with an 18-55.
End of the day, a sword is as good as its wielder.
i cant say much abt canon lenses as im not a canon user, so i cant say much abt the lenses,
if i were u, i would get the tamron 17-50 2.8 and the 55-250 IS... if get both second hand shldnt cost u more than 900 i think....
thats my 2 cents...
i never get the 18-55 so cannot comment on that but many people said that it's a sharp lens, for 55-250, i've used it just recently on AFA X and find it to be reasonably sharp even wide open and the IS does help a lot(i've tried a 70-210 f3.5-4.5 before and i've to give it up because i've to bump up the shutter speed everytime i shoot coz of my shaky hands), i dun think anything could go wrong with it + those lens are cheap, if i were you i'll get those 2 + a good flash gun
A personal opinion, a flash is definately worth investing. Which to get might be a tricky question to answer... I guess it depends on what you can afford. Getting the higher end ones would be recommended.
About lens, try to get faster lens. Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 would be my recommendation due to it's IQ and it's price.
Yeah
The reason I'm still considering the Tamron is cos of its f number and I would immediately buy it without hesitation over the Canon, but I'm still not to sure about the difference in sharpness of the 2 lenses~
the best way to see for yourself, its try both lenses, take the same picture, go back review it... see if it suits ya level and expectation of sharpness....
Yeah, but I can't get my hands on both lenses! The only way I can get both is by testing them out at a camera shop and I cannot view the quality on a pc in a camera shop~ I will only leave the camera shop with one lens!~
