Hey Jeff,

Nice to see another member from Wisconsin on the boards! I have the kit lens for the original DRebel, and I have found it to be a very capable lens for the money. If your looking for something with a little more range and at a reasonable price, you might want to check out the Canon EF 28-105mm. Below are a couple of links to the lens I'm talking about. Be sure to check out the reviews on this site. Lots of good info there.
