[QUOTE="§am, post: 57521, member: 9187"] I think the 18-55 is a much under rated lens simply because it comes as part of a kit/bundle. It's a fantastic lens for the price, for the usability, and foremost a great lens for anyone wanting/willing to learn or new to the whole photography thing with dSLRs (like me). Keep it, you'll find it useful for indoor stuff for the most. As already said, depending on what you want to do with your camera, a 55-200 (or 55-300) will compliment your kit lens quite well if you want to venture out with it. My next purchase though is a prime lens.... The AF-S 50mm 1.8G is on the cards if I can get it cheap enough. I don't think I'm brave enough to get a manual focus one like the AF 50mm 1.8D (though seen recently at £~90 makes it so tempting) I think this is something worth looking into for yourself... go for a zoom followed by a prime, or vice versa - just depends on you photography needs/likes [/QUOTE]
