Hi all,
I have a Canon 400D and after six months using the kit lens I'm planning to buy something a bit better. It's main use will be a general walkabout lens for holidays and suchlike but I also do a bit of mountain biking photography, action shots etc. Budget is £300 max
I know multiple lenses will give me the best selection but I dont fancy lugging extra lenses around and changing them out in the field (yes ok I'm lazy!)
I reckon the 18-200mm will be more useful out and about but will the HSM feature of the 18-125mm make the biking shots easier as I've heard the 18-200 is slow to focus?
