Re: EOS 1000D Body: what lens to use?

My first DSLR was a 1000D with kit lens 18-55 IS + 50 f/1,8 II back in 2008. I took some great images with this set up! But don't expect great low light / high ISO performance.

I think it is important to have a zoom so I would recommend getting the 18-55 and if budget allows the 50 f/1,8 rather than 24 f/2,8 since you won't notice significant difference from the zoom comparde to what the 50 f/1,8 is capable of in terms of low light / thin DOF. I currently have the 18-135 IS STM zoom which is slightly more expensive than the 18-55 but great for the wider focal range.

Good luck and enjoy!
