[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 139117, member: 13076"] I agree with all of these great suggestions. And I would also consider that as a beginner, the point isn't necessarily to weigh yourself down with more gear, the point is to take what you have now with that excellent quality 18-55 mm lens, and go out and work with it and find your subjects and discover the light with as little as possible. Right now you are learning and keeping it simple is the best thing. When you are ready for more challenges, then get more lenses and equipment. I think the suggestion of the 35 mm 1.8 lens is a very good one because it is even simpler than the 18-55 and it gives you better low light or indoor shooting capability. And it is also an extremely sharp lens. If you plan to shoot things that are further away then the 55-200 would be a fine second choice. [/QUOTE]
