[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1142395, member: 59143"] Not needing and having is a good thing, I agree. But not at the cost of investing into something that you don't need in general. I'm sure Village Idiot would agree with that as well. This brings us to your next question and something I already said. Know what you're shooting. You're just starting out, and as such, you'll probably want to have all of your bases covered, until you figure out what it is exactly that interests you most and will be able to make you some money while you're at it. This is the toughest call to make when starting out. The only thing I can suggest, is to start with a zoom, and figure out which focal length you shoot at the most, and only then start considering if you think that a prime will be worth plunking down money on. That 17-55 would likely do the trick, since 70mm on a crop sensor is way too tight for the kind of work your doing (IMO). Or what about the 24-105 f4 or the 24-70 2.8 ? Those also look like decent kit for about the same price. I can't comment on them personally though, maybe Villiage Idiot can? Doug [/QUOTE]
