What equipment?

I once have a 50 1.8 meant for using non flash shots in restricted places but rarely use it because of the focal length restriction. Oh, I never did any portrait shoot. Birds are my first choice and second choice. Macro and Nature would be third. Thanks for tips.

I thought you said about the traveling lens because EFS 50mm f/1.8 are light and cheap and has a decent good bokeh. good to have for traveling.

Yes travelling. I once had a modified MF 50 1.4 which was good and fast, but being fix at 50mm, I need space and time to compose but others will get fed up with me taking too much time. At places like museum, etc, there are big crowd thus cannot get further away to get all in. It did surprise me the price of the EFS 50 1.8 vs quality. I am seriously considering the 18-200 which will cover almost everything except birding and macro (for my use). Then it will be pasar malam time for my Sony gears.

I will not consider 18-200mm, I will consider 24-105... I just brought Canon 24-105mm F4L IS.... it work good... because I use my brother lens is Canon 18-105mm F3.5-5.6.. the quality output not good

I have some of firend said 18-200mm so so only if quality

Already an old thread. Just to update.

I already bought the 18-200 as kit lens and good only for travel and walk about lens. Not meant for cropping etc. Now looking for a 70-200 f 4 IS for the compactness and resolution. Can add in a 1.4X III and or an extension tube for insects and butterflies too, when there are no birds around.

The 24-105 is good but the 24-70 even better....ha.... only thing not better is the paper with Agong Head.
