Hi i'm currently using kit lens 18-55mm IS with 40D.
With a budget of below $500. what better lens should i get to replace my current kit lens? any suggestions? thanks!
:thumbsup:I think, for a start, you need to ask yourself what you are lacking from your kit lens that you find the need to replace it.
Is it the focal length?
Is it the aperture?
is it the minimal focus distance?
When you have the answers, then you will know exactly what lens you need.
If you are looking to replace your kit lens, get the tamron 17-50 f2.8 non vc.
If you are looking to compliment your kit lens, get the canon 50 f1.8 for some bokeh fun/half body portrait and sigma apo 70-300 to cover the longer focal length.
Both suggestions will bust your budget by a bit but it still boils down to what you shoot.

Tokina AT-X 11-16 f2.8 then ... but please double your budget :bsmilie:the aperture and the minimal focal length.
