Hey guys,
So the time is coming where I'll be going to E. Africa for a month before I go to Paris for a year to go to cooking school. I was wondering what lenses you would recommend for my different needs which are pretty wide spread.
Here is what I own now:
Canon 40D
Canon 50mm
Canon 28-135mm
Canon 430EX flash
In E. Africa I'll be shooting a number of things from game, scenery, portraits, buildings, food, etc.
Paris will be much of the same - scenery, portraits, architecture, food.
Is it worth me investing in the following:
Canon 75-300 mm $160
Sigma 50mm macro $300 (was thinking of it anyway as it is great for food pics)
Any tips for keeping the sand out of the lens and how to deal with the humidity (will be there in December, E. Africa)
As for a P&S I want something inexpensive with decent IQ. I just need it to snap some quick plating pics at school and in and around town, nothing fancy. Heavily leaning towards the Olympus FE-4020 which is on BHPhoto for $115. All above prices are also from there.
TIA
