I'm relatively new to owning an SLR camera. The Pentax K-50 is the first one I've owned, and I'm still learning how to use it. I only have the kit lens, so I've been looking into getting a new lens for work-related purposes mostly. But after looking through some of the different lens types and reading reviews, I've only gotten more confused.
So I wanted to ask: What kind of lens should I buy?
Here are some of the things I'm looking for:
- $200-$600 range, give or take $100
- Vibrant color quality with minimal editing
- Sharp/HD-looking pics
- Photos will be taken for:
- outdoor events (rallies and protests, canvassing, etc.) - a lot of movement
- indoor events (formal dinners, press conferences, meetings, etc.) - some-to-minimal movement
- close-up/portrait shots
I'll be forever grateful to anyone who can suggest a lens that'll be a good investment!
