After all th weight, I find that I leave my BIG lens and Big Primes at home, Unless I KNOW I am having a Dedicated Photo Day. They my BIG Pelicans with Wheels come out.
I use my tamron 28-300 XR and it works great for parties, and Spur of the moment shots ![](http://www.ezboard.com/image/emoticons/wink.gif) (oh I also pack my 17-35 wide just in case)
All fits in a light shoulder bag and I just go out and have FUN.

Is this a good deal on a lens?
Its a canon 100-300 usm zoom lens, and I don't want to buy it right now but the guy is selling it for $100.

you get what you pay for with lenses (in most cases), so a wide-range telephoto zoom for 100 bucks? Hmmm yeah, might be ok at f8 or up but I dont' know about the rest.

I'd rather shoot the swimsuit issue instead of sports.

I heard that the photography courses are only for the students enrolled in the photography program.

I have a dilema... I don't know which way to go.
I've been looking through our list of available parts for my XT. Admittedly, our lenses are a little overpriced (and only by like 20 bucks anyways), but I know my employee discount greatly outweighs this price difference.
I don't know whether I want to get myself a 50mm f1.4 macro for 5XX.00 + discount, or if I want to get a 10-22mm EF-S for 1118.00 + discount.
Any ideas?
I know I want both, but I just don't know what order...

50mm is way too short to use for (live) creepy crawlies usually.
Canon has a f1.4 macro?

For macro lenses, do you have to turn on the macro mode or is it auto?

Macro lenses open up whole new worlds to explore.

So you said 50mm is too close. Would 60mm be enough or would it have to go to the 100mm (regarding Canon's)?
