What is a good lens for Canon 450D?

Question

I am buying the Camera in the next couple of days, and I am a little unsure of what lens would suit me?

I am Australian so Aussie sites or stores would be great!

I am just starting to get more interested in photography but it will only be a hobby! I don't want to spend more than $500 but any recommendations would be fantastic!

Thank you for your answers in advance!

Answer 1

What lens you buy has more to do with what subjects you tend to shoot.

Wide angle for landscapes, standard for about 85% of your photography and telephoto for shooting field sports and wild life.

Just be sure you buy a Canon lens.  Even buying a used Canon is better than buying a new third party lens ...
