I have a Canon EOS Rebel SL1. I have two lenses. A 75-300mm lens and a 18-55mm lens. What's my next purchase? I take a lot of sports action shots.

either the 200 2.8L or 70-200 2.8L are excellent for that purpose. They are significantly better than the lenses you own. In that focal length they are top of the line.

Good questions. If you want the best lens you've ever used, sell your 75-300 and get the Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS USM II. It is hands down the best lens I've ever used. It's fast and will make every shot look like a pro. Nothing beats having a 2.8 aperture. It's expensive, but so worth it. Another great lens would be any of the Canon 50mm primes. Or the 40mm pancake prime. I like the 50mm f1.4 but the 50mm f1.8 is amazing too. There's even a 50mm f1.2 but it's way expensive.

I have a canon and it was one of the best lenses I ever used for the price. I bought a canon 18-200 and gave mine to my son and have thought about getting another. I think as long as you get the one for your camera you can't go wrong.

for my 7D I went with the 10-22mm USM IS and the 24-105mmL and I think that covers the majority of my ranges (I also got the 70-300mm USM telephoto zoom so I think I'm pretty well covered from 10-300mm ;-)

As I noted in my earlier review, our Rebel SL1/EOS 100D with a 18-55mm lens **just** fits into the case. Since the SL1 is the smallest DSLR on the market (smaller than the T3i), I would say "No, go with the ACPRO625 or ACPRO650 because the ACPRO600 will be too small."I do love this series of cases, so definitely get the 625.

I looked at both this lens & the 16-35mm lens. I got the 16-35mm lens. In my search for other lenses I found that the 18-35 is not that great.

I have a Canon Rebel T4i. When I have the 18-55mm lense it is a pain to get in and out. Smaller lenses are easier. I would go with a rain sleeve if I was not going under water, like a OP/TECH USA Rainsleeve.

I am alos looking to buy a rebel xti and want to photograph my son playing sports. What lens did you buy for sporting events?

I had a Canon 70-300 lens for about twenty years and continued to use it when I bought my new Rebel t1i. A year or so I fropped it and replaced with a digital one of the same focal length. Both these lenses have served me very well, as an amateur photographer. Excellent choice. A couple years ago i bought a 2x converter and have used it a surprising number of times. I like the results with that on, too.

really comes down to what you are trying to photograph. If you are really interested in photography, you may want to invest in a few different size lenses.

I love my 35 but my 50mm 1.4 was what I started with and I still love it.:)

One thing to keep in mind if using this lens is that it does not have image stabilization (IS). So if your shooting quick action shots; such as soccer, you may want to use a mono or tripod.

I did NOT buy the kit lens...bought camera with the 18-200mm lens instead....love this lens....a bit heavy but just great....no need for multiple lenses.

If I were you, I would sell the kit lens and the 28-135mm is usm, the latter of which I had and sold because I purchased the 17-85mm is usm and then the 15-85mm is usm. If you figure out the perfect size and type of camera bag, the 15-85mm & 70-300 together give you plenty of range. Plus carrying a lens like the 85mm f/1.8 for low light, if it will fit in the bag, makes for a very useful combination.

I have an EOS 7D, 17-40 f/4L, 70-200mm f/4L, 50mm, 28mm, plus filters & hoods, and right now I even have a second body in there. You should be fine. Just don't be surprised if you have to spend a little time arranging padded dividers to fit your needs. I love the multiple carry options and the materials. Awesome bag for quick access and quick maneuvering. Climbing up rockslides or jumping creek stones, etc.

I found the 18-55 a very useful lens, but both the bundle with 55-30 as an excellent second lens. I shot a lot of scenery and sports shots and it allows me to get some great close-up action shots. Also for mountain shots aI can bring in the mountain closer for some fine sunrise/moon rise shots. Not sure about the 3X but the lenses I have from Nikon meet my needs well.

If you have a Canon Rebel, my first choice would be a 70-300 IS. That will allow you great sports shots without having to carry a tripod. It also has a panning button which allows you to follow your kids as they run and have a clear shot. This one could be good too and it allows wider shots as well.

I take flower and action scene shots. It stops action very well and with 18-55 mm and 55-300 mm lenses, both nikon works great. It's a general pack not specifically for just sports. It does it all.
