So I have an Olympus E-520 DSLR with the 14-42mm F/3.5-5.6 kit lens. I am thinking about buying a better lens, because I hear a lot that kit lenses tend to be on the low-quality side, and F/3.5 on the wide end is not much to be proud of.
Olympus has two lenses that are in my budget that look intersesting. First, a 50mm prime macro (100mm equiv.) F/2. Second, a 14-54mm F/2.8-3.5 zoom. Both are about $450. People rave about the sharpness of the 50mm F/2, and the 14-54mm F/2.8 has good reviews also. I take a lot of kid photos, inside with and without flash (I have an external flash) and outside, and occasional non-kid pictures. Which upgrade lens would you get? |
