All Purpose Lens(es)

    Hi

    I have £400 sitting in a paypal account and want to purchase a new lens to upgrade from the kit lens that came with my Canon 1000D.

    I want a lens that is good for anything from portrait to sport if theres such a thing, sigma, canon any recommendations appreciated.

    Would ebay be a good source for perhaps a 2nd hand lens??

    If it´s a trustworthy seller, eBay is a good source, I always received what I expected.
    Lens for &400 – for indoor sports as well as for portraits you could use Tokina 50-135 f/2.8, however for outdoor sports (football, car racing, etc.) it will be too short.
    If you shoot outdoors, you could also consider the Canon 70-200 f/4 L.

    I have been reading alot and i am focusing in on lenses

    perhaps a combination of Canon EFS 55-250 and the Canon 50mm f1.8

    Canon EFS 55-250 is too slow for sports (it doesn´t have USM) and for indoor sports it´s completely unusable
