[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 213922, member: 12855"] Sell your 18-55 junker and 55-200. Heck, sell 50D too. Then get 35 1.8G and 70-300 VR if you want something with a reach and you'll be set. 28-80 has crappy aperture without a flash (in darker conditions), 18-55 is just beginner "junker" because it feels real cheap and doesn't offer superb quality, and 55-200 is like 18-55: beginner grade zoom. 35 1.8G is a solid, auto-focus prime with great aperture that's a true 35 field of view on DX (since its made for DX). 28-80 starts at ~40mm field of view, so its worse than the 35 prime. The 80 is ~120mm, but hardly as nifty as 75mm your 50mm ends up being. 70-300 VR is the BEST zoom before game goes pro and into $1500+, and is well worth the street pricing of 3-350. So your 50 is like a 75mm, and 70mm on this zoom is like a 105, which isn't too far off, but much more effective given its range. If you're trying to do budget "trio" that's completely bang-for-buck, I'd do 35 f1.8G, whatever you own/want that's in 35-105 range, and then 70-300 VR. [/QUOTE]
