[QUOTE="shibang, post: 55391, member: 9462"] I think I would probably look next at the 35mm 1.8g or the 50mm 1.8g, the 18-55 kit lens you have is actually not a bad lens for general use, it's just when lighting is bad it lets you down and you can't use a low f-stop all the way through the focal length. As for a zoom like the 55-200, I would probably hold off until you know you need the range, by then you might know if the 55-200 is what you need or if you need something faster like the Sigma 70-200 2.8 HSM II for example where you can control the f-stop through the entire range. If you can't decide between the 35mm or the 50mm, spend a few weeks only shooting at those two lengths and you will soon know which is better for you. [/QUOTE]
