I will also be starting with the 18-55mm.
Still does anyone have any recommendations for a good lens?
Also what does anyone know about this: http://bestpriceelectronics.com/bp/product_info.php/canon-t2i-canon-1855mm-is-lens-16pc-kit-p-19518
whats your budget?? the 24-75mm or 24-105mm are great all around lenses, but they are pricey. you can look into the EFS 10-22mm its good for landscape and general use. i use this website alot to check out lenses ----> fredmiranda.com
they also got an awesome macro section which i mostly shoot.
