I have seen others post basically the same question I have, but I wasn't sure if I really should hijack their thread, so I started my own.
I currently have: canon 50mm f1.8 canon 55-200mm f4.5-5.6 Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 ***by far my fav lens*** Sigma 70mm macro I'm not a professional by any means, and I'm not interested in breaking the bank. Do you have any suggestions for additions to my lens lineup? Mid price range preferrably. I was thinking a wider angle, but I'm not sure I'm ready to spend 1000.00 on a lens yet. Should I just be happy with what I have? Any other peripherials you can suggest? I have a gift occasion coming up and people want ideas. I also have a 430EX with a 16' off camera cord. The wireless remote shutter release, tripod, monopod (for my huge telephoto lens not listed above), camera bag, Konica 3 set extension tubes, various portrait backgrounds/lights, etc. My current camera is a Rebel T2i with grip. Thank you for any suggestions you have. |

keep shooting...you will find out where your lenses fall short and know where you need to plug the gap based on your own style of photography and personal tastes. You have a nice start on lenses now, I can't imagine you'll find a need for a mid-priced, mid performance lens.

You've got the basics covered. As the others have said, you're at a point where you should be able to identify some pretty specific needs if you want to justify more / better equipment. It sounds like wide-angle shooting might be that next step for you, but only if you're really hitting that limitation with your current equipment.

Thank you! I kind of knew this already. I am happy with my lenses and feel they cover pretty much any situation I will encounter. It was mostly just reassurance I needed that I'm on the right track. Now to start taking more pictures...
