Best Budget Zoom Lenses

[jasusu]

I’m about to buy myself my first camera, and I’m going with the r8, however, other than the 50mm 1.8 im not sure what to start off with, is there a cheap lens I should go with? I heard about the 24-240 being decent but wanted to hear from people and see what y’all think I just need something affordable so I can save up for nicer stuff going forward.. https://xender.vip/

I was on the Kolari Vision website looking for something, and I remembered you asked about pricing for your R100.  Right now there is a sale going on.  Normally $299, but currently $224 for the R100 for full spectrum.  Keep in mind at full spectrum you will need lens filters - but you can choose any wavelength you want.  If you get a fixed wavelength option, you will not need lens filters unless you want to go to a higher wavelength at times.  For example if you get a 720nm conversion you don't need filters for 720nm, but you can add one for 850nm (which is the best for high contrast B&W).  However you can't go lower than your conversion... meaning if your conversion is 720nm, you can't use 590nm filters.

I went over to the site and looked around. The price is far from stupid. I may have to convert the R100 and give myself permission to buy a new back-up body. Thanks.
