Re: What lens to purchase for Canon DSLR

If photographing your children and family is a priority, and you will be relying on one lens for most occasions it is nice to get something that has a bigger zoom range. While the 17-55 lens is a very high quality lens you might find the zoom range is a bit limiting if, for example, you were trying to capture photos of your children on a ride a Fair, or if you want to be a greater distance away to capture a candid moment while they play. While I have not tried the new 18-135mmm STM, it seems to be getting some good reviews. Particularly if you could get it as part of kit, it may be a good, cost effective option. If you are buying the lens separately anyway, however,  consider the Canon 15-85mm lens as well. I have the 15-85 and I have found it be an excellent all around performer.
