I Need A Decent Lens On A Budget

I haven't had much time to use my camera lately but Im heading overseas shortly and it would be nice to get a decent lens before I go.

I currently have the standard kit lens that came with my camera (350d) - 18-55 (which has taken a beating and needs to be replaced)

I have a decent zoom lens, and I have the 50 1.8

I need to replace my kit lens - so after some suggestions on lens to replace it with - Price range under $500 would be nice.

Any suggestions would be appreciated - Im not good with camera talk so really don't know what to look for. I just want something similar to the kit lens that takes a decent shot.

Looks to be :thumbsup: For an extra few bucks you can get the OS version, though. This link doesn't say that it is the newer OS version.

I have the old version without OS and don't miss it, fwiw.

Yup, they usually are - and sometimes quite a lot.

Are you staying with any friends while you are there? Most US companies won't ship to a hotel but they will ship if you can give them a real address. it could be there waiting for you :laugh:

Yeah I am staying with relo's. By the time I work in shipping etc it gets quite pricey, compared to buying it here and getting gst back.

I might just wait til I get back and make do in the meantime.

Edited to add - Im guessing if you buy a lens overseas, and it breaks, it would have to be sent back overseas?
