this covers about anything . try being more specific on what you want to shoot. also provide information which equipement you already have.

i would recomend you starting off with one lens first. so if you really want something that does wide and tele then you will probably go looking for a super zoom which are versatile but do not do macro (18-200). despite the fact that these superzoom do not have the best optical qualities, they will allow you to find what focal length you use most. before buying more specialized lenses.

on the other side if you know exactly what you want to shoot (i.e. low light indors) then i would recomend you getting a nifty fifty (canon EF 50mm f1.8).

all depends on your needs

You lot are quick to get back to me i have a 40d with just a 18-55mm at the mo i i probably have a budget of about £500-600 per lens

Well i do shoot a lot of still life work in the house and love going out and about for a shoot ie wildlife landscape would like to look in to doing more portrate work and i also love doing macro work and at the moment i only have the budget for 1 lense at a time and one lens that has cought my eye is the sigma 70-200mm 2.8 and the canon 70-200 f4 but i just cant make up my mind in to which lens to go for first with my old pentax camera i had a 17-70 for wide angle and a 200mm for macro

500-600 pounds is a lot per lens. what is your global budget and what do you primarily shoot? how many lenses do you intend to get.

Ok then hoe about a 100mm macro IS L
17-40 L for wide angle
and maybe a 70-200 F4 for telephoto that line up will get you well on your way with top quality glass...
