Default Stuffs to get for 300D.

Have been shooting with 300D.. but very limited due to 18-55mm lenses. Any recommendation to upgrade? Where to get cheap lenses and fliters and other stuffs?

Thanks.

For portrait, can consider Tamron 28-75mm f2.8. It's within $600 range. Pretty good lense.

Firstly, helps if you explain what you find limiting about the kit lens? Aperture not big enough? Focal range not long enough? Not heavy enough?

Focus lrange is really limited.. and yea.. aperture not big enough.
Is EF 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM a good lens?

Suggest you decide what you intend to shoot first then decide on the lens to be purchased.

Still sounds to me like its a BBB virus. I'd take deathangels advice and realy evaluate what you would like to shoot first before zooming in to the lens you want i not you might end up selling one on the b/s soon =p

Focal range I can understand but as dethangel and raptor84 have mentioned, depends what you wanna shoot.

Aperture not wide enough? If so, how is the 90-300 f4.5-5.6 gonna be any different in aperture?
