L series lens

Hello, I've had this T3i for a while. I enjoy it very much and I have the cheat sheets. I would like to have better quality pictures (I use the camera mostly for vacations and family pictures). Can I use a Canon L series lens on my T3i? If not, what other lens can I use?

Hi,
Any EF L series lens will fit on your camera. I wonder, however, what you mean by better quality. An L series lens should deliver better optical clarity in terms of sharpness but you would expect that for the price you pay. As lenses for vacations, you must remember with all the added glass, L lenses tend to be a bit weighty to carry around.
Still if money is no object (and you could consider buying used) then an L lens will certainly improve the clarity of your shots.

Thanks. Yes, I'm on a budget, but I'm scared to buy a Sigma or a Tamron and not get the sharpness and clarity.
