Well I`m a Canon user and no i do not own an EOS 1Ds or something like that but just a very humble 1000D which i have with me for quite a while already (about 4-5 months now) so this is my workhorse that i lug around during my outings :) It comes with a 18-55 IS Kit lens which i must say performs pretty decently considering its a Kit lens. Below is a picture of the 18-55 IS lens

The 18-55 Is is a standard zoom lens which performs well if you need those wide-angle shots or if you need a relatively short zoom range this little guy wont disappoint its also a suitable lens to be used during the night as well as a wide range of lighting conditions as its a pretty fast lens for its price (around $199) its minimum macro focusing distance is just 25cm, making it ideal for macro photographers on a budget.


Besides this I also have a 55-250 IS lens
The 55-250 is a compact and lightweight telephoto lens
its the longest zoom range in the EF-S series to date
opening possibilities to EF-S mount camera owners to explore a world of photography previously denied to them with the 55-250 EF-S mount camera owners now can shoot wildlife, sports, travel photography and some even astronomical shots like this
