Planning to buy/replace some lens
Hello to all!
I have some trouble deciding on what lens to buy. Here's the deal, I'm on a Rebel body (XS/1000D) and currently have my beloved kit lens and a 50mm f/1.8. I love shooting macro but recently started to take portraits as well. Occasionally, I take indoor parties too of friends and family. I got a limited total budget of around $850. Moreover, I am decided to get a 580EX II for myself and that would already cost me almost half of my budget.
I'm possibly considering a fast, general-purpose, wide to mid-range focal.
I've got some several options in the following order (+ = buy / - = sell):
1.) + 580EX II, + 85 f/1.8, - 50 f/1.8
2.) + 580EX II, + 100 f/2.8 Macro, - 50 f/1.8
3.) + 580EX II, + 17-85 f/4-5.6, - 18-55 f/3.5-5.6
4.) + 580EX II, and save the remaining and wait for additional funds for + 17-55 f/2.8 - 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 - 50 f/1.8
5.) + 580EX II, and save the remaining and wait for additional funds for + 24-105 f/4 - 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 - 50 f/1.8
I hope you can kick some sense into my options.
Thank you in advance.
Angelo
