(The lens that came with my Rebel XT) Should I just get the new kit lens with the IS? Budget: <$400 However you can mention other lenses too if you'd like. I'll create a poll for everyone to vote on once I have enough suggestions... hhhmmmm... well, the one with IS would fare better than the one without simply because at 55mm your widest apeture is 5.6...without IS, and in lighting anything other than full bright sunshine, you'll have to use a slower shutter or higher ISO (or both). Darker than Dusk, a tripod will be a must, or you'll just end up with blurry pics. Gear: The Official Gear List / Market Feedback / Sig thread #2468

You may will be able to find a used one for around 400. They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics.
