So, i just bought a Canon 30D from a TBH brother. I'll be needing to get some glass. I need recommendations for about three "go to" lenses. One for interior (snapshots, parties, etc.), one for wildlife, and another for landscape type stuff. I can't afford the high end stuff. Any suggestions?

I have this same camera, what lens did it come with?
Believe it or not, I have a whole host of lenses from my Minolta XE-7 35mm SLR that I use because I picked up a Minolta to EOS adapter w/glass. You can do this with any manual lenses out there as long as you have the proper adapter that cost about $28.00
Most if not all of my manual focus lenses have been free or cost very little BTW.
If I can help you out further let me know.
The Canon EOS 30D is a great camera. -
Thanks for the information. I'll be getting an adapter. Any other lens suggestions, or suggestions in general? Thanks again.Originally posted by Cottonwood View PostComment

Well, the Canon 50mm 1.8 for sure. $75-$100
Canon 18-55mm w/is - $80-$120
Canon 55-250mm $140-$170
Warning, youll fall in love with the low light capabilities of the 50mm 1.8 and start looking at the f2.8 low light capabilities of the 24-70mm and/or 70-200mm IS which run about $2200 and $2000 respectively (new) :PLast edited by Henry; 12-16-2012, 09:48 AM.Comment

Warning, if you test a L series lens.... like the 70-200mm f/4L your going to get hooked real hard.. a buddy of mine told me to save my money and put a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II and I never will look at another lens.. maybe his go to landscape lens is the 16-35mm f/2.8L II... but he has deeper pockets than I do.
But for now, I am also using the 70-200mm f/4L USM
