Canon Cameras, lens upgrade?

Question

I have a canon rebal 2000 eos 35mm film and I want to upgrade its lens, which is currently an 28-80mm.

Whats the next best lens and where is the best place to get it.

(i do not trust ebay for electronics)

Answer 1

You should try the fixed lens 50mm F1.8. It's about $90. Check on amazon.com.

Answer 2

Since your camera is a "full frame" camera (it's a film SLR after all), the best normal, walk-around lens that will blow the 28-70 mm one away would be Canon 24-70 mm f 2.8 L.

Here are some photos taken with it (each photo is marked with the lens used). http://www.flickr.com/little_pooky

and when you invest in that lens (it's not cheap), you can always use it with another Canon camera, and quite well with a full frame dSLR.

Answer 3

Don't Blame You About

Not Trusting Ebay..

So, What's Your Budget..?

And Which Kind Of Lens Do You Need?

A lens for portraiture, wildlife, wide-angle..?

alot of canon's lenses from the film world which the used are now discontinued. However, these are some good ones:

Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, Assuming your camera has an aperture value mode... note, this lens doesn't zoom, it's a prime lens.

if you have the money, get this one, it's an IS 70-300mm Lens
