I got a Sigma 18-50 lens kit for my Canon 350D but I am thinking of changing it for a Canon 18-55 lens kit.I assume there won't be a huge difference in terms of qualtiy I could obtain.but unfortunatey it's not within my budget to go upper level glasses for the moment.
what do you think guys is it worth changing it? which one do you think is better?
would the lens hood that came with the sigma lens fit the canon?
thank you very much in advance.

Hi!

All the kit lenses are so called "cheapies" and should be avoided.

This site gives you an excellent introduction to good and bad (canon) lenses:

Thank you all guys!I appreciate your efforts.
Now it seem I'd better start saving up for a decent lens like the famous 17-40 in the mean time I have to make my kit lenes work more and more in order to get rid of them soon...

thanks again
