I need some advice, Canon 7d & Lens
I had a Rangefinder that I really enjoyed. I didn't want to rush into things so I waited untll now to buy another camera. I will probably get a Canon 7d. The prices seem to be best on Ebay from people with high volumes and good repuations. Are these Ebay guys alright? But from my reading, it seems the lenses that come with the kits are the bottom of the line. I would like to make one step up with a better quality lens. Can you please make a recommendation for a single lens based on how I will use it? Is this called a carry around lens?I will use it mostly indoors to take pictures of family and gourmet baked dishes. I want some portrait quality. I will also take it outdoors to take pictures of family in close and distant scenic shots. And I would like to take close ups of a rose so that the bloom would take up half of the frame.
The sharpness and quality should be a step above the cheapest.
Is it possible to get an aperture that that will open and close so I can take pictures ininside with low light, & then is it possible in different shot adjust the aperture so that most everything in the foreground and distant things will be in focus too???????
Would this lens do all that? EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM The Canon Site shows a nice portrait with this lens, but the background is blurred. Could this lense do both? Could this lens take pictures with everythin in focus too?
Thanks,
