Then 24-105mm is out of your budget by 3 times.

Get Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. You can find it 2nd hand in B&S in this forum.

However, if you want wide and tele range, I suggest you to get Tamron 18-200mm. I've tested it and am very satisfied with the image quality and size of the lens. Very portable. Sub $500 range.

sorry... may i know what is the actual price for canon 28-105mm lens? coz the price i found in internet is around us$250-300 ... errr....

And yes, buy within your means and not breaking your bank.

there are few shops in peninsular plaza area selling second hand lenses as well as cameras. but beware of smaller and lesser known shops as they take us as carrot. opposite peninsular plaza (peninsular shopping centre), there are some more shops, eg The Camera Workshop and few more near the canteen. but the best place to check out and hunt for good condition lens is here in B&S.

btw, get something wider at the wide end, 28mm not wide enuf for a 1.6x crop.

 

[frans84]

stick 2 ur kit lens first...

then get 55-250 + 50mm F1.8 :thumbsup:

hmmmmm....... than save enough money to invest more nicer lens....

 

[frans84]

Understand what you need first. For instance, 50mm f/1.8 prime is good to have, but if you seldom use it for portrait shoot etc, it is better to save the money than get it for the sake of getting it.

Plenty of options available to you though.

You won't be using more than 1 flash unless you have multiple DSLR bodies and each of 'em requires external flash mounted on or you want to do it the strobist's way.

Normal usage, 430EX II is more than enough. 580EX II covers slightly further distance and able to function as Master or Slave, depending on the mode set.

i would suggest to get a basic entry level flash, best is canon flash. with at least a basic setup, u can start to pick up the learning curve rather than waiting to save enough for better flash.

i still find the 50/1.8 is the best prime to buy.
but i sold off mine... because i used it as paper weight.

:bsmilie: I seldom use 50mm f/1.8 and thus sold it off in the end. Using more of my UWA and tele lenses though.
