Lenses

[Hellfish]

hello all, Well I am new to the photography world just picked up a Canon rebel xs with the 18-55mm kit. So im looking to do some amateur photography nothing tooo crazy, just looking to do some portraits, maybe some landscape and some wildlife. So im in the market for a new lens, not looking for anything too crazy just something that will fit my budget and be useful for what i need it for. Again price is a huge factor i dont need anything to crazy just some opinions. Also if anyone has any suggestions or tips with the camera or photography in general would be much appreciated. Thanx in advance

There is a great Canon photography forum that I find chocked full of great info and pictures to browse. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php. It has been very helpful to me so far as I am a newbie with an XSi that is about 2 months or so old now... loving it... have a great time with it.

Lots of lenses out there to do all sorts of different jobs. One thing I always recommend to people that are just moving into SLR cameras is to get the fastest glass you can afford. Fast glass will allow you to control depth of field and shoot in most lighting conditions.

One lens that every Canon owner should have is: Canon EF Lens - 50 mm - F/1.8 - Canon EF
