rui_monteiro7 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 <p>Hello!!<br><br />I'm a newbie on this, I just bought a couple days ago a Canon Eos 700d and the objective that came with doesn't have no zoom, the objective is a Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3,5-5,6 IS STM.<br>My question is, which objective should I buy to get some zoom, doesn't have to be professional stuff, just enough to make some proper photos.<br>I'm sorry in advance if this is already a answered post and also for the inconvenience.<br><br />Greets.<br><br />Rui M.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebu_lamar Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 <p>The EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM is a zoom. You can zoom from 18mm to 55mm. Perhaps you meant that even at 55mm it's still not much?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_monteiro7 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 <p>Ops, sorry i forgot to write that point.<br> Yes the zoom that the actual objective makes is not much and it would be nice to have something that could give a bit more.<br> Thank you for your quick response.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phule Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 <p>Rui,<br> I would add the Canon 55-250mm IS STM zoom lens. Makes for a great second lens with the 18-55mm for your first telephoto zoom. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James G. Dainis Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I would pick up an 18-200mm lens for general shooting, vacations, family snapshots, etc.. That way you wouldn't have to keep changing lenses as you walk around. Every time you change lenses you take a chance of introducing dust onto the sensor. The 18-55mm would most likely be slightly sharper for more critical work within that focal length range. James G. Dainis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phule Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 <p>[[Every time you change lenses you take a chance of introducing dust onto the sensor.]]</p> <p>It is 2014. Dust on the sensor was a minor issue before sensor vibration systems were added to cameras 10 years go. Now? It's sometimes a problem for people who change lenses in the desert, at the beach, or in charcoal factories. Everywhere else? The problem was solved, except for those with OCD. <br> The 18-200 is not weather sealed against the camera body, so dust will get in anyway and the camera body was not assembled in a ultra pure clean room and has dust inside already. <br> Super zoom lenses are good for a number of reasons, but "sensor dust prevention tool" is not one of them. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett_w. Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 <p>check out the 55-250IS - there are several versions but all are good inexpensive telephoto zooms</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyhause Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I have completed my move to full frame, but tried many of the above lenses on my Rebel bodies in the past. The Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 is great on APS-C in terms of price and image quality, and your note about the EF 400mm f5.6L is a good one to include. It's a tough lens to learn, but gives great shots if you can live without IS and use a sturdy tripod and good technique in lower light levels. The EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM is an amazing lens and close to a 35mm on APS-C. I loved it on the crop and love it on my full frame alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
