Thanks R2, I actually have a Raynox dcr - 150 and didn't realise it would clip on to a canon lens until you mentioned it.

At 4.8 diopters, it should work just fine.

Knowing this I have decided to go with the standard twin lens kit.

Which lenses in the kit?

I can also get a wide angle adapter so will try this out for the time being with my star shots.

Generally the wide angle adapters leave a lot to be desired. I'd do a thorough search before springing for one. OTOH, the new 10-18 STM would be a fantastic addition.

I guess as time goes on if i want to go further with my photography then I will get the proper lenses

Really good approach there.

but i'm pretty sure i'll be satisifed with the way i'm going.

You'll be amazed at the capabilities of these modern DSLRs. Especially the autofocus and the low light shooting.

Also consider the wonderful 40 STM for even greater low light capability.  It's one of my favorites.

Happy shooting!
