First of all, I know very little about lenses, which is why this might seem like a slightly retarded question.
I need to be able to zoom, nothing major. Just standard. Moreso than the 12-24 though.
It's just for standard photography. Traveling and shit.
I'd also like to use it for filming on the hill. I do not require anything 'wide angle', not even as little as the 12-24.
I want something not too expensive that still gives me great results.
Real life karma for actual help. Thanks.
