Re: Best Budget lens for 200d??

In my opinion, of the two lenses you listed, the 18-135 would clearly be preferable given your stated requirements and preferences.  For portraits, you'll rarely if ever need or want to go longer than 135.  The 18-135 is a great all around normal zoom lens, which you lack but would like to have.  The 18-135 adds wide angle to your capabilities.

The 55-250 would be less optimal for what you want because while 55 is plenty short enough for a short portrait lens,  you won't be shooting portraits at 55mm with the 5' minimum focus distance of that lens.
