I have a Canon EOS Elan body that died on me... but the lens (28-80mm AF) is in good shape... I am looking to purchase a Canon Rebel XT in the near future and I believe this lens will work with it... should i buy just a Rebel XT body or the kit? What other lenses should i also consider with this new camera?
Also, should I fix the EOS Elan or not... ? (the top switch won't turn the camera OFF)
The 28-80 will work on the DReb XT, but with a 1.6x crop factor, so you'll see a little difference in focal range between what you're used to and with the new body.
You could also consider the kit lens (18-55mm) and see what your needs would be as far as telephoto lenses or wide angle lenses.
