Which lens to buy

[lance71]

Hi all,

I have a canon 5d with a kit lens at the moment which really doesn't take the best of pics. I will be going to Thailand in December and want a lens that will work best for traveling.

I want to spend about a grand on a new lens, can anyone recommend the best for traveling.

I also sell my images on istockphoto so need to get some descent shots.

Thanks,
Lance

Get a wide angle lens and a 200mm telephoto lens. Don't forget to get a decent flash.

Look at the stuff on these pages:

You can buy generics like Sigma or Tamron for Canon or the Canon branded products:

Awesome thanks, never seen that site.

I like this lens and suits my budget, would it be a good choice? http://www.ormsdirect.co.za/tamron-7...lens-for-canon
