    Most like the 18-200 vr as a walk around lens. Good range and the vr helps when light isn't good.
    You didn't say what your budget is but its around 700 which is pricey for me but I got one from KEH.com with a high rating for about 500.
    Keep Shooting!

    Your 18-55 in full frame angle of view is 24 to 80 mm. Note for 1.5 factor camera bodies 28mm is equivalent to the 50mm normal lens. I would suggest a xx to 200 or 300 mm lens. I'm happy with the Tamrom 70-300 Mirco but I purchase the full frame version.
