[QUOTE="§am, post: 112108, member: 9187"] Depends on what budget you/your dad has to play with would be my first question. Get a prime (35mm or 50mm f/1.8G), and also a zoom (55-200mm or 55-300mm depending on how much reach you really need). The 18-200mm or 18-300mm are good lenses too if you want an all singing all dancing lens, but you may find you don't use the zoom end much and the extra you've paid is kind of lost so to speak. Also worth considering as an everyday walk about lens is the 18-105mm, and couple it with maybe the 70-200mm. Need something a little wider but still a walk about, then have a look at the 16-85mm. But like I said, it all depends on how much money you're wanting to spend, and also very much so on the kind of photography you are interested in. [/QUOTE]
