Re: The D-SLR Discussion
I'm not so sure.
I use the 18-55 kit lens for 90% of my shooting, and it hasn't failed me yet. It is a good size, has a reasonably small aperture, and the build quality is very premium. If you were to invest in another lens, however, get the 18-135. It is an amazing all-purpose lens, and when I had it, I never took it off the camera.
I have the 60D, and bought the kit which comes with the 18-135mm lens. I have to say that the zoom range is wonderful, my only warning is that it auto-focuses very slowly, although that's the case with most lenses on that level.
