Thank you for your reply EricPvpi. While I was reading your post it felt like I was listening to myself.

I owned the t4i when this forum started. One week later I returned the t4i and purchased the 60D (body only). I then purchased the 17-55. Then 1 week later through additional research, forums and a camera class, I purchased the 20-700 f/4.0, 430 flash and lightroom adobe from B&H Photo.

Recently I have been experimenting with different shots with the camera and the lenses; including shooting them at all different focal lengths. So far, I love the 55mm length, and therefore would love to try the 50 1.4. I also love the closeup / portrait shots at 70-200mm; I am interested in two macros by cannon, the 60mm and the 100mm L.

I am looking forward to learning more and more about photography, and ultimately be ready to photo my newborn, which is only 49 days away... but who's counting


Thank you again,
Bruce
