We don't want to make anyone feel like they can't openly ask any questions. OK, here are my thoughts. If thinking about purchasing a fixed focus lens I would suggest a 35mm or 50mm for most work. You can get in close to your subjects for a different take on perspective (especially with kids) and you have enough coverage to shoot some landscape shots. For anything longer I would look at the 105 or 135 focal lengths. The 105 is the perfect portrait lens and the 135 works for portraits and most anything else that doesn't require a long telephoto.I like the 18-55 because I find in my personal work that I shoot a lot of scenes with semi-wide coverage. Plus, it's super sharp and the VR comes in very handy.</blockquote>
