[ADVICE] Beginner lenses for Canon RP

[daines13]

so I just bought my first camera, I decided to go for the Canon RP as the refurbished on Canon USA website is just 699$

I am brand new to photography and I`ve read a lot of posts about rp lenses recommendations and a lot of people were recommended buying a lenses adapter. Also should I go for third party lenses or canon ones?

I will shoot mostly street and landscape so maybe a 18-55mm f/4 or should I get fix 50mm f/2.8?

budget is around 300$

thanks for any info you give me, it will be very helpful since I'm a bit lost here...

You will need to shop for Full Frame lenses now since you have a Full Frame camera. Using an APS-C lens such as the EF-S 18-55mm will reduce megapixels. Since the lens only covers the APS-C image circle which is 1.6x smaller than 35mm Film or a Full Frame Digital Image Sensor. But your current EF-S 18-55mm will work when adapted. 3rd Party lenses can be iffy when it comes R series cameras when it comes down to compatibility. The RF 50mm F/1.8 STM is a great lens. When it comes to Full Frame look into a wide angle lens such as the 15-35mm or 14-35mm wide angle lenses. Have you purchased memory cards, extra batteries, or other accessories already. Do you need an external flash (speedlite) too.

One of my favorite focal lengths is the 50mm, and an RF 50mm f/1.8 is $160 as of this writing at B&H Photo.  It typically retails for $199.

Note that this is a fixed (prime) lens, so it will not zoom.

One potential zoom lens (though it's above your budget) is the RF 24-105mm f/4 to f/7.1 lens.  Around $399.
