Jokes aside, what's wrong with your kit lens? If you can't answer this you don't need any other lens. Use what you have and learn with it.
If you have yet to try out the 18-55/135/200, do give them a try first before seeking for a new lens...
Thank Octarine...my kit lens are good for me but i want to upgrade . wanna shoot behind blur and indoor shoot.
Thank Skystrike
i will try one by one.... if i budget hv..
Get a flash for indoor, read up about bounce flash, bounce card and diffuser. If there is not enough light just make some Much easier than to get an expensive fast lens, struggle with shallow DOF and slow shutter speed and getting noise due to high ISO.Thank Octarine...my kit lens are good for me but i want to upgrade . wanna shoot behind blur and indoor shoot.
The above listed 18-55/135/200 are "kit" lens...I believe your DSLR came with at least one of it....try playing with it first.
btw, if you want the behind blur shot, you can try framing your subject at your max zoom and standing as near as possible while the background of your subject to be as far as possible (quite confirm your background will be totally OOF/blur)
yes ..i hv 18-55 and 50mm 1.8 ..need to zoom lens? 50 mm is good for me but my hand r always shaking..
faster shutter speed..pump ISO..get something to support..eg monopod/tripodyes ..i hv 18-55 and 50mm 1.8 ..need to zoom lens? 50 mm is good for me but my hand r always shaking..

If u have the budget the splurge, 85 1.2 is the way to go. Otherwise, sigma 85 1.4 or ef85 1.8 are good.
18-55 will definitely give u the blurred background if u shoot at the tele end and subject spaced out from background. But a good prime will be a better choice, quality of bokeh is better and also the large aperture lends to faster focusing.
get the 50 f1.8
if u dunno what u need, then u dun need it
