Hi,
First time poster. I'm looking into my first dslr. I have decided on a canon 450d with the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS as a standard lens. I am thinking about getting the Canon EF 28-135mm IS USM Lens as a extra lens. For a first extra lens purchase looking for a walk around to learn with. Any suggestions?
cheers kelvin

Hi Kelvin,

Welcome to the forum. In terms of the lenses for your first dslr, since you are already getting the 18-55, getting the 28-135 would be a large overlap in terms of focal length IMHO. What I have seen people tend to do is buy a 70-300 lens as then you would have a walk around lens (18-55) and a telephoto lens (70-300) albeit a gap between 55 to 70.

Cheers
Mak
