I just got the Canon R5 because my friend said it was top tier but I am a total beginner and pretty overwhelmed. I didnt even realize I had to buy the glass parts separately and now I am looking at all these numbers like 24-70 and 50mm and it makes no sense to me. Im heading to Tokyo next month and I just want one lens that stays on the camera the whole time and takes good pictures of everything. I spent most of my money on the body so I only have about $1000 left for a lens. Sorry if this is a dumb question but what is the best all-around lens for the R5 that a newbie can actually use?
Tokyo is gonna be incredible with an R5, but be careful not to weigh yourself down. Since you only have $1000 left, you might want to consider the Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM.
- one lens covers everything
- great for street shots and far away stuff
- fits your budget perfectly Make sure to practice a bit before your flight... that R5 is a lot of camera for a beginner! Just ask if you have more questions.
