For a relatively new digital SLR photographers and owners of this can be confusing when it comes to the upgrade kit lens. There are so many different lenses on the market cover a large range of focal and openings that it can be very confusing to work out exactly which one you need.

This article will talk about what kind of things that should be taken into account and that will point you in the direction of an opportunity to discuss a bit, but has long since proved to be one of the best lenses out there, and one of the cheapest!

you have so many decisions that when trying to decide which lens to spend money on. In my opinion the main thing you should look into the lens wide open (or low f number). wide aperture to give their two main advantages: first, allows plenty of light into the camera allowing you to take great photos in low light conditions without using flash, and secondly it allows you to record a cery shallow depth of field. shallow depth of field allows the blur in the background making a portrait or close-up shots stand out more and makes it tougher.

Personally I think too many people have too much emphasis on aesthetics and certainly too much zoom. After all why buy a zoom lens when you zoom with your feet. OK some require specialist photographers zoom (say, for photographing tigers), but I'd much rather get a higher quality zoom lens less than vice versa.

In my opinion the best bet is to upgrade the kit lens is the Canon 50mm f1.8. This is the cheapest lens Canon sold, the worst built, easiest, noisiest to focus but within the optics produce absolutely fantastic results.
