you want wide then if doing landscape/cars.
sigma 10-20 might be a good shot, or something around 17-35/40

cheapest option is a kit lens.
Best option is decent glass.
You buy cheap you end up wanting decent glass soon after.

Elliot, I suggest you get a cheaper body and then have more for a decent lens. no point having a semi decent body if you're going to put shitty glass in front of it

dont tell him that, thats bull shit and you know it ads.
he is getting a 30d for under £300, well under i hope.
better of getting that than spending £350 on a 450d with a kitlens.

Or better off buying a very cheap 350/20D and getting decent glass.
GLASS is the most important thing espec as most people wont even use a 9 point Focus system lol

yes i agree i only ever use centre AF, BUT £260 for a 30d is a well worth while investment.
he will not need to upgrade for a long time.

£260 is indeed a bargain, if i saw one for that Id get it today as my back up body.
however the 30D is atleast 2 years old now so can have had a hell of alot of shutter use aswell.
