Even though I don't really need it, just bought my DSLR! Grabbed a t4i on sale. Time to start shooting weddings!

So imagine my surprise when I open up my new camera box, and instead of the 18-55mm lens I'm expecting it has the 18-135mm lens. Thanks Best Buy! Time to learn how to use this thing.

I just recently bought a t4i and am loving it so far. Best Buy still has them on sale for $650, which is what I was finding most t3i's going for new.

I also just found some photography classes that work out with my messed up schedule that I'm going to sign up for so I can actually get better at using it too!

edit: rakuten has the 55-250 for $179 right now. That seems like a really good deal?

I'm also still trying to figure out what lenses to get. I was going to get the 50mm f/1.8 that was recommended earlier, but I'm not sure if the 18-55 or 18-135 kit would be better? About $150 difference. Should I save that $150 and put it towards a Tamron 70-300 VC or something as recommended by Mr. Despair and skip the 55-250?

I believe the 18-55 kit lens is pretty lovely, but I can't say whether it's worth it or not to get the 18-135 kit. I've got it, but it's because Best Buy screwed up and gave me the wrong one. Seems to be a decent lens so far. I do plan on getting the 50mm f/1.8 in the near future.

Yo people need to stop repeating this with no actual experience.

I apologize. Was just going with what I'd heard. lovely was probably the wrong weird to use anyway.
