What to get

I'm looking at upgrading from my G6 to a T2i
I'm not sure what lenses to get (same question as many others )There is a package available that has the T2i and a 18-55 Zoom
Then there's a package with the T2i and a 18-200 Zoom
Then there's a T2i and a 18-55 and a 55-250
Or the T2i and a 18-55 and a 75-300 and the T2i with a 18-135
My interests and main photo taking will be done a drag racing events , car shows and cruise nights with old cars
Of course there will be some of the family at the pool and whatever vacations we take
Am I better to buy the T2i body and a lense not listed in a package and go that route
Live with that and then 3-6 months down the road by another lense
I can't say I have "x" $$ to spend because if I have to build a package I'am willing to take my time and do it once and do it correct
Thanks in advance
Anxiously awaiting your thoughts and opinions
Merry Christmas to all

My vote is for the 18-55 and the 55-250 route.

I actually bought the 55-250 separate and it ended being more expensive in the long run. I should have went with the package. I needed a zoom lens and this one is a good bang for the buck.

yeah a great starter set up is the 18-55 with 55-250 and then go buy a 50 1.8 as well. Gives you a good range to play with and learn what you really want without breaking the bank to hard.

article i wrote on it a while back.

Read the articles about these lenses at http://www.the-digital-picture.net.

The longer the range squeezed into a zoom, the more compromises wrt operation and performance.

get t2i and tamron 17-55. great lens for around $300

Sure, it totally makes sense to duplicate his kit lens.

I vote for the 18-55mm + 55-250mm + 50mm 1.8
