quick help for canon lens

[Redfraggle]

Help me with this lens. The baby broke mine and I need to find a replacement ASAP because family will be most displeased not to see pictures of his first Christmas. You guys are good, please help this mom who doesn't have a lot of time to research.

Well hopefully it's decent. I ordered it. I'm replacing the kit lens, so I don't need something amazing, just a good all-around lens that not a million dollars.

It seems something happened to the motor in the kit lens. Manual focus on the kit lens that comes with the Rebel xsi is crappy.

great little lens for around $100

Second the 50mm f/1.8. Great little lens for CHEAP.

or pick up a cheap 18-55mm kit lens on craigslist.

If you're looking for a more permanent solution, how about a 18-135mm Canon lens?

kit lenses are usually the cheapest to be found

Well, at this point the lens I mentioned is on its way. I'll let you know what I think. Any experiences with it?

Don't get the 50mm

With kids you're going to want to be able to zoom on a snap. Not have to move towards the subject using your feet. Though with the price of the 50mm 1.8 it should be added to any photographer's arsenal
