canon 10d lense choice

[catherine780]

hey guys, i'm looking to buy a lense for my canon that i will also be buying this weekend, what lense would you guys recommend for lets say weddings and parties... should i go with the sharpness of a straight 50mm, or should i get something versatile like the 28-105mm?

Probably depends more on your shooting style. I prefer a zoom because I like to shoot full frame as much as I can in digital. Need to conserve those pixels.

Given the focal length multiplier effect of the 10D you probably don't need it to stretch to 105mm. Consider something in the 24-70 f/2.8 sort of range.

I use the 28-135 IS and it works for me.

Same here -- it is my "standard" lens. Most of the pics in my galleries were taken with it, as are 99% of the images of mine that appear in the CES and Surround Pro show reports over at SMR (see sig).

Take 50 mm f/1.8 in any case and some other, like 24-70L. If you can't afford that or don't feel like spending that much, go with Tamron 28-75 for 300 bucks.
