hi lowyat users here, i want to get a lens but i have a tight budget better if below 1k

Im just a intermediate photographer..currently just using Canon 700D+ 18-55 STM lens and 50mm f1.8..

I prefer more on landscape/flower (macro) photograph..

currently im thinking to get a zoom lens or maybe a macro lens..not sure which 1 is good..
i got did research on some lenses such as Canon 55-250, canon 75-300, canon 70-300, or 50mm macro
third party lenses such as tamron 18-270, tamron sp 90mm..

maybe i did too much research till very blur now duno which to get..i hope u guys can help out..

first of all, try asking in the Canon EOS thread everyone is Canon user so feedback is faster

second of all, why do you need another lens?

U kenot get landscape & macro in 1 lens
Actually flower isn't so macro
Macro more on insects
Ur 18-55mm can kawtim the flower
Want it closer, just add close-up +1, +2 or +3 filter
Ur 18-55mm also can landscape but not so wide

All lens in ur mind are tele zoom lens
Not suitable for landscape/macro
Suitable for "skodeng" only

for landscape try EF-S 10-22.

EF-S lenses can only be used on APS-C bodies, from from eos xxxD, xxD to 7D.

EF can be used on all eos bodies including the 5D and 6D. they have full frame sensor. They get a wider field of view for the same focal length compared to aps-c. 18mm = around 28mm on full frame.

u can invest on EF lenses and use them on aps-c bodies. But not all, like the 16-35, made as an ultra wide angle on full frame. But become a wide to standard zoom on aps-c.
