My husband recent surprised me with Cannon Rebel T8i. I am overwhelmed by lenses. We have 3 small children and I want a lens that can capture them together around the Christmas tree and when we go on nature hikes in our local state parks I’d like to be able to get long shots of the beach or of wildlife. Can you recommend an affordable lens that can do all three of these things for a starter lens?
Thank you,
Natasha
Hi Natasha,
Thanks for your question to Canon Geek about a good starter lens for your Rebel t8i camera. Two lenses come to mind immediately based on your description of the photography you'll be doing with your new t8i. You are right. It can be challenging to pick the right t8i lens because there are so many.
First of all, Congrats on the new camera. The Rebel t8i is a fine camera and will perform very well , has lots of technology, and is capable of excellent image quality. The challenge is to pick just one lens, out of the dozens of EF and EF-S lenses that will attach to your Canon Rebel.
