On a slight side note one of the best things I purchased for any of my lenses were a Polaroid and UV Filter.  Really helps to cut down excess light and protect your lens front!

You mean Polariser (or Circular Polariser to be precise, aka CPL).

I do indeed...my bad  :smiley:

When you say 'close ups of wildlife' what do you actually mean?

Flowers, nature, bees butterflies and all that jazz. So what does the 18-55mm actually mean? Sorry a photography noob. :/

That's the focal length. So the zoom if you like.

I remember the early days before my Canon ruined me. Glad you are enjoying the new camera.

I had the 450D and the 18-55mm and the 55-250mm they were certainly a good place to start. I managed to get some good shots.

I have to admit the 70-200mm F/4 USM would probably be the best place to put your money for a cheapish zoom for quality and for Macro either a 60/100mm F/2.8 non-L version.
