[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 804277, member: 50197"] Selecting the right lens for you is very much dependent on what kind of shooting you do. If you do a lot of landscape, or work that frequently requires a wide angle, then the 55mm won't do much for you. This is exacerbated by the crop factor since it will put the wide end of this lens into the short telephoto range. Personally, I would be looking more at lenses like the 18-140 or 18-200. All this is predicated on your budget, and shooting style, but you already have 55-200 covered by your other two lenses. Having said that, there is something to be said for a zoom that covers a wide range of focal lengths you shoot most often so you don't have to change lens often, or miss a good shot because you just don't want to change lenses again. Once you decide the zoom range you want and can afford, research the reputation of the lens for it's performance. Some lenses are attractive in the coverage and price, but underdeliver in terms of resolution, durability, and ease of use. [/QUOTE]
