Budget DSLR - Advice

[Chris Green]

Hi all,

The canon 17-85 lens is about £180 for a 2nd hand one. way over my current budget.

Stu, I agree, I am going to need some better lenses at some point, but at this moment in time, I don't have the money for one.

I know the 18-55 kit lens has got a really bad reputation. why is this? I've seen some awesome photo's taken with it?

Thanks losixxx, that lens looks to be within budget. can anyone comment on it at all?

Thank you.
