[QUOTE="Watch72, post: 149033, member: 14003"] Hi Jeremy - First of all, a warm welcome to the forum. I like the 40mm as it is a good focal length for general photography and as a walk about lens. Typically useful for street photography. As for the other zoom lenses, it will depend on what type of pictures you usually take. The 18 - 105mm is rather useful as it gives a perspective from wide to medium tele. As regard to quality perhaps the 16-85mm would be better but then it is up to you whether it is that significant in your photography (BTW do you print it large). In my opinion, getting an "all-in-one" zoom like 18-300mm is not a terribly good idea. It might be convenient but it is also a slow lens (high f stops) and you may not find yourself using the full zoom range all the time you are out taking pictures. [/QUOTE]
