Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Kit w/ EF-S/18-55 IS
Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens
Its the same camera body but the lenses are different. I assume the difference is that the 18-135mm has more than the 18-55mm lens because the 18-135 is a bigger range. I'm just getting into photography so I don't know all the technical terms, sorry.
Thanks
Answer
You are correct in your assumption. The 18-135mm lens has a wider focal distance range.
That being said, the biggest favor you could possibly do for yourself BEFORE purchasing a DSLR camera is to go read a couple basic books about DSLR photography and see if it is for you. You are talking about purchasing a camera that costs several hundreds of dollars with no real knowledge. Would you do such a thing when purchasing anything else? Probably not. I'm not trying to talk you out of DSLR photography, in fact I expect you will get even more excited after reading a couple books. but the only way you are going to be able to make an educated decision about this expensive purchase is to do some research and learning on your own.
Don't be one of those people who spends $800.00 on a really nice DSLR camera and then uses it like a $100.00 point and shoot!

Should I buy a Canon Lens or a comparable third party lens for my Canon EOS digital?
Christina
Does anyone with a Canon EOS digital camera use a third party telephoto lens?
If so:
1. Which lens do you use?
2. From which company did you buy it?
3. Do you like it?
I plan to use the lens for photographing events around my community (rodeo, softball, etc.). What I am trying to decide is whether to buy a Canon lens or a less expensive third party lens.
Answer
To answer your questions:
Yes, in addition to some canon lenses (100mm macro, 50mm 1.4) I use a non-canon lens for my primary walk around lens.
1. I have the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8.
2. I bought it from Amazon.com most likely. I generally either buy from Amazon or B&H Photo & Video.
3. I like the Tamron lens just fine. I bought it mainly as an upgrade to the kit lens that came with camera. Generally the kit lenses only top out at f4.0 or f5.0 for their widest aperture and that can be limiting if you want to do low light photography without flash. I found that to be the case and I wanted to upgrade to an all-purpose lens that was faster than that.
Unfortunately, some of the Canon lenses at f2.8 can be a bit spendy (but worth every penny I'm sure) so I settled in the middle ground with this Tamron lens which had a good reputation. I've been pleased with the results. While not comparable to "L" glass (but what mid-range lenses do?), it produces excellent images with good sharpness and color that unless you're a hard-core pixel peeper you'll have nothing to complain about.
For the purposes you're talking about, it would make a fine all purpose lens particularly if you have to take photos at indoor events without a separate flash unit.
