    Wanted What Lens for a Canon 550d/600d Lens

    Hi Peeps,


    I have now decided that I'm going to buy either a Canon 550d or 600d and wondered what lens I should get. I was going to get the standard lens (EF-S 18-55mm IS) with the kit but having read some reviews I'm convinced and believe I should buy a separate lens. I was looking at a general lens to start with maybe an 18-135mm IS lens for a beginner.

    Any feedback would be appreciated



    Thanks

    My favourite (affordable) Canon lens, is the EF F/1.8 50 mm, great all rounder, and superb Bokeh, all for £80ish

    Not one bad review on Amazon

    Yep the Sigma 18-125 is a great lens for the price.

    Zoots have just replied on your other thread, no compatability problems with a 400D, I used to use mine with one and had no problems at all.

    Thanks to greaseweasel

    Bought a new Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom AF Lens for £150 after reading some intresting reviews. Now considering the EF F/1.8 50 mm as posted by Ilscuro.

    Now just need to play when the camera arrives.
