Re: Lens advice please for new convert coming from DSLR

This is great, thanks for the recommendations. It makes me feel better about having the 18-55 as my all around lens at least to start out with. I was worried about giving up the constant 2.8 I had with my DSLR but it sounds like it is a very good lens. I just wish it was WR. (I might have to try out the 18-135 too though. Maybe I'll rent it to see.)

I might look for a used 50-230 to try mostly because the lightness would be great for travel. And I will look for a prime to add, probably the 35 but not sure whether the 1.4 or the 2. And the 90 sounds really good to me too. Some day I will have the 100-400. I think I will pass on the 300 reflex for now.

Keep the advice coming please. I tend to obsess over research before I purchase anything so love to see what others use and like. Thanks!
