At the beginning

Hi
On the brink of purchasing my first decent DSLR after lots of research and looking forward to taking some pictures instead of just reading about taking them! Planning on buying a Canon 550D and haven't quite decided on lenses although the front runners are the Sigma 10-20mm and 17-70mm, anyone have an opinion about these lenses?
Thanks :)

:gday: & Welcome
- lets see some photos in the main CC forums (http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/forumdisplay.php?5) maybe try a competition or 2 and have fun!


The 10-20 is highly regarded as a wide angle. The 17-70 is ok.


Check the New to Photography (http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showlibrary.php?title=Books:New_To_Photography_Book) book and equipment guide before purchasing - lots of good advice.

Welcome to AP Erica, Enjoy the site and look forward to seeing some of your pics in the forums soon. Sorry can't help with the choice of lens as I only have 2 kit lenses with my 450D

Hello Eric and Welcome to AP.. I cant help with the lenses though I would love a 10-20mm for landscapes many Members use that one.
Having a FF camera it wont fit so I tend to stick to the Canon lenses.
