• New Flash or New Lens?
    4 replies, posted
I have a Rebel Xti and was wondering whether to get a new flash or a UWA lens. I have a 35-105 3.5-4.5, and that's just not wide enough for group shots or landscapes. I was eyeing a 17-50 2.8 (Tamron) ... or should I get a flash? I am only using the built in flash right now. Both the lens and the flash aren't cutting it, and money is an issue, so I can't get both. Which should I get? Also, which model/brand?
Lens is one the most important things when it comes to photography, so go for the lens in my opinion. Seeing as the lens you have at the moment is pretty bad.
Try the [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1058265]Gear Thread[/url]. Please don't pollute the Photography section with unneeded threads. As to your question UWA lenses are very special and really degrade your image. I think your on the right track with the Tamron 17-50 2.8 or maybe the Canon 17-40 F/4 L.

K, thanks guys!
The Tamron 17-50 2.8 is friggin brilliant, superb value lens. I can highly recommend it.
