It’s for the 60D I’m going to get in the Xmas.
I want a Standard to pair up with Tokina 11-16. As the 3rd one in the future, I’m thinking about getting the canon ef 24-105 maybe.

Do you recommend for now to get the sigma?

Cheers

Totally different focal lengths, it’s comparing apples and oranges. If you are looking for a standard lens and have anything other than a 5Dmk2, get the Sigma 30mm, because it roughly equals what a 50mm looks like on a 5D.

I would recommend you get the Tokina 11-16mm for very wide angle shots, it’s a great panoramic lens and not too heavy – and not too expensive either!

I am going to the Himalayas coming November and the terrain will be very rough and steep. Probably it would be so steep that I will not be able to carry a tripod. Could you please tell me the lenses i should carry to get the panoromic view of the Mount Everest as well as some shots of the trail leading up to the cave (Yes I am going to a cave in the Himalays)

Best Regards
Kalyan
PS: I am a newbie but with a lot of enthusiasm and I have Rebel T2i. I wear glasses which is sometimes a nuisance.

I found this article to be very useful specially since its been by a Pro for a beginers audience. I have just got the 550D kit with the 75-300 IS lens.. The very basic stuff… I am very much interested in photography specially nature and i live in a place where they are still finding new species of fauna and flora. I am wondering what other lens to buy. I need a macro lens, a wide angle lens and a telephoto lens. Your inputs would be very useful.

Ps; Is a fish eye lens necessary for a beginner?

Love and best Regards
Kally

Yes you do! Measurements always refer to full frame bodies for comparison reasons, even if they don’t work on them.
