SLR Lenses: Camera Brand vs. Third Party Brand?
I am looking to purchase my first SLR camera (Probably a Canon XTi) and I have been looking at some packages that contain additional lenses. The packages that come with the additional Canon lenses seem to be more expensive than those that come with third party lenses (ie. Sigma or Tamron). How big a deal is it to use a 3rd party lense vs, the Canon lense? Will I lose functions by not using the branded lense? Or is this a case of paying extra for the Canon name? Thanks for the help, this SLR and lense changing stuff is all new to me.
