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..

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.

1000,000% agree.

I could not have said it better. Besides most standard kit lenses have 50mm included for free so it is possible to fix it there and try if that floats your boat.
