I am planning to pickup the Canon 350D or Canon 400D. What is the best general purpose lens ? Is the EF-S 18-55mm kit lens fine? or is it better to go with say the Tamron 18-200mm Di-II?
Answer
I don't think that there is an easy answer here without knowing some more about what your interests are. The standard lens covers a useful range of wide-angle to normal and the shorter telephoto range, so it will always be a useful lens. It is likely to be less bulky than the 18-200mm, but you need to make the assessment yourself whether it will be too awkward for some circumstances.
That said, I use a Tamron 28-200mm on a film body when I want a one lens solution to cover a broad range of work when I am travelling. When I a home based, I tend to use a smaller lens, say a 35-70mm or 35-105mm on the camera, with a longer zoom (50-150mm or 70-210mm) in my camera bag.
So, if I were in a similar situation, and only going to get one lens, I would have a preference for the 18-200mm over the kit lens.

which fisheye lens would be good for my canon 350d?
jess b
im willing to spend around $1000
does sigma or one of them other brands make a fisheye that would fit the 350d then?
Answer
The only fisheye Canon makes at this time is one for their 35mm EOS and Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II and is the Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye Lens
I would look for one in the near future because of the popularity of the 350D and 400D cameras. It will be around 8.5mm or 9.0mm
