[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 138280, member: 12855"] Play w/ 18-55 you have and see what rough focal length you use the most. Was ~24 for me after ~3000-4000 shots. Then see if you feel that 55 isn't enough reach for you, or whether you want better night shots, and etc and that will dictate what to try and get next. Best thing to do is shoot in Manual and learn what all 3 aperture settings do in unison. A GREAT way to force yourself to learn is to get an old school prime lens, that can only work full manual and usually sells fairly cheap, and get to a point where you can go outside, set everything to what you feel it is, and actually get an ok or a decent shot. Auto lenses tempt and spoil quite a bit. [/QUOTE]
