Do i stick with the same make of lens???

May 21st, 2012
I have a canon 1100d, i want to get a 28-300mm lens.... as I'm very very new to photography i'm a little clueless when it comes to equipment etc.

Do other lens fit the 1100d? do you lose any quality if you don't stick to the same make as the camera itself?

Also as i'm wanting to get a zoom lens so am i correct in thinking the 28-300mm will do?

Thank you :-)

Any lens with EF or EF-S lens mount will fit your camera. So just make sure you are getting Canon EF or Canon EF-S lenses. If you are not buying a Canon lens, make sure it is compatible with Canon EF or Canon EF-S lens mount. Canon lenses are generally of quite good quality, but it doesn't mean they are always the best choice.

Canon 28-300 is good for zooming and practically anything. But, the cost is $2500. You might want to consider a cheaper option like 70-300mm ($350), which has the same zooming capability.

Brill, thanks for the reply... I'll start having a look about... I guess with second hand ones you never know if they're going to be 100 % good condition if buying from the Internet... But I'll have a look see what's out there :-)

Tamron and Sigma make great lenses for all the big makes.
28 -300 in 35mm would be a very good range.
Depends how much you need the zoom, I think I would go for a smaller range so as to get a better apperture value.
