Were lucky as there is a local Camera place that let's you rent the lens 3x and if you buy it they put 80% (or something close) towards the purchase of the lens.

As far as the lens debate.. I'm kinda on the fence of "buy it right the first time".. Thus, I "went big" and got the Canon L F/2.8 70-200 (II series) as my first big lens purchase. They hold their value real well, I could sell it for almost what I paid for it. Its great with the speed and the low fstop. I havent been doing much photography as of late, after moving and dads health issues, but hope i can get back into it. Doing my cousins family tonight tho. But doubt i'll use the 70-200. More likely the 50mm. I DO want to get my hands on a good wide angle 10-35 or somewhere in that range. And get my hands on a new full frame pro body (6D?). Aw.. the wishes. lol

Curious to see how the new sigma f/1.8 18-35mm lens turns out, for $799, thats a pretty good buy if its clear.

Edit: also. If you arent sure of a lens (and if your gonna throw down some money on one), I'd highly recommend checking out borrowlenses.com. Rent the lens for a weeked to make sure your happy with it. Pretty inexpensive.
