Re: Lens advice please for new convert coming from DSLR

The 18-55 is much better than the average 'kit' lens. Not far off my Nikon 24-70, and it has OIS too.

I also have the 14mm which is a great wide-angle supplement.

Good place to start while you get a feel for the camera.

Not had good experienced with reflex lenses. I tend to avoid them. The 55-200 is cheap, light and very good and even if you crop the image, the resolution is likely to be better than the Samyang.

The 100-400 is worth saving up for if you really want a long tele.
