Best lens for Canon 80D
Dec 20, 2017 18:38:59 #
I have been searching just couldn't find anything I would buy. I send the 15-85 back after trying it a few days it is not as light they advertised it still weighs 2 pounds.

The best lens for any camera depends on two things...What do you want to photograph and how much are you willing to pay.

First the 15-85 does not weigh 2 pounds, it weighs one and a quarter pounds. Second unless you want to buy a Canon kit zoom like the 18-55mm STM you will not find a zoom lens with the same range that weighs significantly less.

I am using the 80D as a good walk around lens and wildlife I have the Canon18-200.
I like to have more telephoto reach then 200, I have the 70-300 I also have the 70-200 which are to heavy I can't use them as a walk around lens.
Price $ 1000 to 1.500
Thanks

coupla thoughts. canon makes 2 24-105 lenses. The L version is heavier (metal( and costs about $1100. The non L version is lighter (plastic) and costs 599. Canon also makes an 18-200 also $600. I use the 18-200 as my walk around. Is it canon' best lens? No. but it is very good. (I can take bad photos with any lens no matter how expensive)

I weight the 15-85 the weight was 2 pound the advertisement posted different maybe my scale was wrong
I have the 18-55 kit lens which I don't use the quality on this one is not to my satisfaction.
That is what my husband said I won't find what I am looking for they don't make that lens, oh well
But thanks anyway I appreciated

Thank you so much for the info I will check out the lenses I may go with the 18-600.
You are so right you can take bad photos with any camera and lens I done it already but with years of photography you get better we all live and learn.

Oh well it is to late now I already send it back. Maybe I re buy it after I check out the 18-600 I am sure it is heavier then I like.

And for APS-C like the 80D they make 3 different 18-135s

how about an ef-s 18-200 with a 1.4 extender. The 80d will af to 8f.
A Canon extender cannot be added to any EF-S lenses. This is not a valid suggestion.

I got the 18-200 and a extender but this extender I have will not fit the 18-200. I only use this extender on my 50mm lenses.
Any time you use a extender you loose part of your f stop.
