Mar 13, 2019 at 12:37 | comment | added | Olivier | I never had the 200mm f/2.8 II on my reflex, but you probably won't be disappointed:) For shorter focal length, you can look at f/1.8 primes, and later at the 17-55 f/2.8 (expensive, but worth it). Used lenses might help too. | |
Mar 13, 2019 at 4:22 | comment | added | eera5607 | Thank you Olivier. Now I understand your first point. I thought that I only had to apply de crop factor to EF lenses. In that case the focal length is the same for both. I think, considering your answer, that the best option in my case would be the fixed 200mm one. Thank you. At this point I don't have the money to buy a full frame camera but because it is a hobbie for me, this lens would be a good choice I cases with low or medium light. | |
