What zoom lense should I buy?
 

Looking into getting a zoom lense.

side note, Im not shooting models, or any content of the sort, its just for personal use.

here are my possibles

EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III

EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6

EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS

EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM

EF 70-200mm f/4L USM

any input is great

Sounds like you are investing in some nice gear if not shooting content.

Dont really want to spend 700$ on a zoom lense, but this is my first experience into SLR, bought the T2i last week, love it, blows point and shoot out of the water, would like a zoom for going to sporting events.

70-200/2.8 or 70-200/4 IS

I love our Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC

The reviews it gets are on par with Canon, photo quality wise and it costs half the price. I wanted a nice range, without breaking the bank.

Did you pick up the EF-50mm f/1.8 II?

nope i didnt, just have the 1 lense that came with the t2i

Check the Tamron, I think you'll be pleased with the results and the cost.

The 50mm, you can find online for under $90. It was recommended to me as a must have and it takes great portrait shots.

You should choose the zoom you want.

thanks for the sound advice

if it were me i'd go with the EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

love the wide angle and 200mm is a good tele, f/3.5 is nice and wide too.

I initially started off with EFS 55-250 but invested in a Sigma 18-200 which is what I use most of the time now.

I love my EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM (with image stabiliser) but I think it would be a bit unwieldy on a rebel body. You'll also need another lens for wider shots (I use an EF 16-35mm L)

I don't know much about the other lenses but I would recommend pushing EF-S lenses down your list a little, since they're not compatible with full frame bodies. The body is disposable, lenses are an investment, if your next body is full frame then your EF-S lenses are useless...
