Yellowstone

DanielB

so i just figured out we *my family* are going to Yellowstone for our family vacation this summer, just wondering what lenses you guys think i should pick up for this occasion... keep in mind that i'll be getting a 20D here in about 2-3 months or so:wink so i could use an EF-S lense

should i pick up a WA or a telephoto for this trip? not so big into wildlife, but its always fun




thanks,

Daniel

anyone


you know you want tooo

My thought is something fairly wide for landscapes, say 28mm or even wider (because of your 10D crop) and something very big for wildlife at least 200mm (because this becomes 320mm on your 10D I think) I have shot some birds and stuff with my 200mm and I wish I was closer, but maybe 200mm plus a TC?

asuming i have a 20D body by then which would you recommend for a wide
the Tokina 12-24 f/4 or the Canon 10-22


for a zoom i'm hoping to pick up a Sigma 70-200 2.8 here soon, and i'll be getting a TC for that taboot


anyone else?

Me, I'd stick with Canon, and I'd get the 10-22.

I have a Sigma 12-24 and I'm not happy with it - lots of CA. So I say stick with the Canon brand. We've seen many fine shots from the 10-22. Second choice, if you're on a budget, would be the 17-40.

but that would only get me 27mm and some barrel distortion.:D

i'll probably be picking that lense up sometime in the future for a mid-zoom,


what i'm lookin for a hardcore wide-angle.
and the Tokina and Canon are the best 2 candidates for that


thanks for the feedback thus far guys, keep it coming, i have much to learn:baldy

Howdy Daniel,

If you haven't ever been you are in for a treat, there is anything and everything to shoot. We went this last September and I can't wait to go back. To use a "Golf Saying" you'll need every club in your bag. There is so much diversity and so many things to see and shoot. You'll need the widest and the longest and all things in between .

Also, make sure and practice up on your pano technique it's one of the premier pano places.

Get that 10-22. I got great shots with a 16-35 on a 1DmkII. You'll also love something long for wildlife.

Oh, here are a few other things you'll want. Comfortable hiking books and bag.

And here is a book I just read which will help whet your appetite:
