I just picked up a used R50 V body for a decent price and now I’m looking for a lens. I’m hoping to stay under $300. This is my first real camera, and I plan on using it for videos of bikes/cars, vacations, group portraits, and some wildlife. I know that’s a pretty broad range, but starting out I’d like something that can “do it all” reasonably well. The kit RF-S 14-30mm looks interesting, but I’m worried I’ll want a little more reach. What would you recommend for a good first lens?
