Nothing wrong with the 35 though, everybody should have one.The 18-55 is decent. My only problem with it is that it might lead you to eventually get the 55-200 to complement it. Then you are carrying around two lenses but you won't feel like changing lenses back and forth, so you will make do with the 18-55. That's how it worked out for me anyway. I just found the pairing of the two awkward with the break point at 55. I was happy when I moved the 18-55 and 55-200 to the closet and got the 18-105. It was a better range for me when just walking around not carrying a bag. I added to that a 70-300.If you are really feeling the 35mm, go for it, it would not be a mistake. 30 years ago we would have been telling you to get a 50mm (same view as 35) for your first lens.</blockquote>
