I started of using my 18-70 at the Ace Cafe meet last year, but quickly swapped to the 55-200 so I could get some more arty pictures by blurring the background with the smaller aperture value that the 55-200 has.

You really need a 50mm prime lens or something like that. Alternatively the lens I have bought, as it's a true 1:1 macro lens, gives oodles of bokeh!

Indeed I do, I'll take one of those, and a deeper wallet if you have either laying around? :wink:
I'm planning on getting an 18-135 lens with my Canon when I get around to buying it. And then at a later date, a good fixed 50mm. And then maybe a 70-300 for my sports photography.

Either that or a true wideangle.
Or both knowing me...

ad:Have been toying with the idea of getting a 55-300 - do you find yourself needing to swap lenses all the time or can it be used quite a bit at 55mm?

Ideally I'd like to replace my 18-105 with an 18-200 but they're so ridiculously expensive ad:

I was looking at the 55-300 but have now decided against it and want the 70-300. The image quality is better on the later from what I have seen and the mount is also metal rather than plastic like the 55-300. You have upto 105 covered so I would go for the 70-300
