[QUOTE="Pierro, post: 79787, member: 8517"] Choosing the right lens depends on what you want a lens for, which is why you were asked what you intend to shoot and what your expectations are. If you're like many people here and are bitten by the world of photography, you will forever be trying to hone your skills. This means as you get better, you will find " all in one " lenses limitations. You will then start selling them off for better lenses that do the particular job that your all in one lens didnt do earlier. Pro's very rarely use an all in one. They are a compromise in everything - mainly resolution and available apertures. If you have this bug of photography, and you feel you really want to get way better in your skills, by all means start with an all in one, as running before you can walk wont pay in the end. But dont buy a new all in one lens. Because as sure as mustard, you will need to sell it and buying new means YOU will take the hit in depreciation. Be prepared to save money. Good lenses cost - there is no way round this On the other hand, if you only want a do it all travel lens, and dont feel like you want to get into the ever financial spiral of increasing your gear for this and that lens, then this or that body, ad infinitum, then just read some reviews on big zoom all in ones and go snapping [/QUOTE]
