Have I told you lately just how much I love my digital camera? I’d done some research on digital SLR cameras as I’d been looking at them on and off for well over a year before I actually purchased my Canon EOS 30D, but by most peoples standards I probably didn’t do as much research as I should have. Still, I got a great camera and even better I purchased it at a great price. Just look at that photo of my lovely rose. I’ve been looking for some lens for my new camera. It came with an 18 mm to 55 mm lens, but I want to get a macro lens and a telephoto lens as they’ll suit the type of photography that I tend to do most often. I went looking for lenses and found some a several sites, but they’re so expensive! Even the camera model that I bought seems to be much more expensive as most of the stores that specialize in the sale of digital cameras as they just sell the camera body without a lens for the same price or more than what I paid! Actually, even though my camera was a good price (it was about $1,300 so yeah it was expensive) I managed to get a couple hundred off the price because the stores competitor was selling the same model a little cheaper so they lowered the price for me. This enabled me to get a special camera kit, a side multi battery handle and an extra battery. Now I need to find a good deal on lens. Should I check on eBay? Dare I?

Shopping for lenses is harder than choosing the camera! I try to read as many reviews as I can. You should take any equipment review with a grain of salt, but you can find links to lots of reviews canon-reviews.com/reviews/lenses . I find that having a larger cross section of reviews gives you more opinions to draw from.
