[QUOTE="HYBRED, post: 12532699, member: 52848"] Saleenspeed misspoke. He's referring to a "prime" lens, a lens with a fixed focal length. Not a "fixed" lens, as in not removable. Prime lenses are good, and tend to be sharper, but can be frustrating for beginners because the only way to "zoom" is with your feet. The best "cheap" lens I've used is the 28-135, which was the kit lens on my 40D. I'm not sure if you can get it in a kit now, but it's a worthy upgrade to the 18-55 they slap on most bodies. At your price point, your options are all good. As posted before, go to the big box store and figure out which one fits your hands. Once you buy into a brand, if you get serious, you'll probably be stuck with that brand for a while. [/QUOTE]
