The manufacturers are trying to get you to buy the kit lens as they are very cheap to make and you pay $100 for them. If you end up going the Canon route, the 17-40 is a good lens, the 17-85 is pretty good, and Tamron makes several good wide to normal zooms. Of course you could always buy a 35mm F2 and use it as a 50. :) Don don.dory@gmail.com On 4/7/06, Phil Swango <pswango@att.net> wrote: > > My daughter is thinking about getting a DSLR to use for serious > photography > (she has a BFA in photo).
