recommend a lens?

[MagicMynx]

I'm looking for a nice but not expensive lense to fit a sony alpha 350 (I know that the alphas have a funny fitting but all of the alpha models have the same lens fittings).

I'm looking for a zoom lense and a macro lens. I saw some in argos but although the price is fine (under £200 - ATM like everyone I have a limited amount of cash to spend, LOL) but I know that I would be able to get them cheaper elsewhere or they're gonna be pants.

Any suggestions for a DSLR noob greatly appreciated. LOl

Can't help you directly with what Sony lenses to buy (as I'm Canon), but don't forget the Minolta lenses from their digital range will also fit :thumbs:

see http://www.dyxum.com/lenses/index.asp for user feedback on the vast majority of common lenses for Minolta AF/Sony Alpha mount.

is that £200 budget for both or £200 each?

£200 each - I think it would maybe be a little niave to ty to get them both for £200 combined, lol
