I would like to hear what you guys think i should get.
I am new to photography, had my Rebel Xs for quite some time and i decided to get a new lens.
Ofc i am on a low budget.

I like macro, landscape, and sometimes portrait.
so i am stuck between these two lenses.
Right now all i have is the kit lens.

It's all ur choice, If I was u I would go with 50mm it's a great lens.

well i just noticed the tamron lens i put is af lol....
as far as i know 1000d is only ef and ef-s
so for a 70-300

i might just go with the 50mm one. unless someone has a good reason to consider a 70-300mm lens
can also link me to a good telephoto lens trying to keep this under 140

I don't know much about the tamron, but I do know I have quite the fun with the 50mm it is a great lens to start off with, and perhaps maybe months down the road you can get the tamron eventually, too!

Here are some examples with the 50mm

Now that I think about it, your 50mm might be more fun

Best lens you can get for so cheap is the 50mm. Pictures are lovely sharp and focal depth is super fun to play with.

Thank you guys, looks like i am going with the 50mm

70-300 all the way down as for me

70-300 for me too. 50 mm is boring, and kit-lensy

you should first decide what would you take pics of more. landscape or portraits.

50mm
you will learn alot more when using it
