This comes with a 18-55mm lens. What should I look for in buying extra lens as this is a digital camera. Old SLR Cannon lens won't work, Right?

Correct old SLR lenses do not work. Other Cannon lenses that are available individually are good and there are many to choose from.

B. Stoops did you purchase this lens? I'm about to buy the T2i (550D) and am debating to get this as part of the kit or get the 18-55 and potentially buy this one separately later.

An 18-55 mm lens is generally used for portrait type photos as well as medium wide angle photos. I use it both for some nature shots as well as many family group photos. The only time it lacks capabilities is very late in the day when light is very low - depending on your camera you can dial up the ASA speed to overcome that.

Without knowing exactly what you are photographing, I would give it a qualified yes. However, if you are going to be photographing from a distance, then the kit lens of 18-55mm is not going to fill your needs. Depending on distance, you may need something like an 18-135mm or for even greater distance, something like the 55-300mm lens. Beyond that, you'll be looking at large aftermarket lenses in the 150-500mm range.

I haven't confirmed this yet, but from everything I've read the 52mm is what you should be using for the 18-55 lens.

The 18-55 covers a widw ange to short telephoto range equal to a 27mm to an83mm lens on a film camera. with this lens you can shoot fairly wide shots and the zoom in to increase the size of yor subject . the 55mm end is good for portraits and the 18 is good for scenics. The 55-200 zooms out to capture firds in flight or othe distant subjects. Both are inexpensive and outstanding optically.

I think I'm missing a ring too, it has a ring, but the ring says "S7/58mm" on it. It attached just fine to an 18-55 lens because it's a 58. It does NOT attached to a 50mm lens because it's a 52. Someone else is saying the ring should say 46-58 but it only says 58.

Is this the lens you are asking about? http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-18-55mm-3-5-5-6-II/dp/B000V5K3FG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1384631932&sr=8-1&keywords=Canon+is+18-55 If so you would need a 58mm filter. This one will not fit.

Tamron lenses come with different mounts. Make sure you buy it with the Canon mount. Obviously this is a much shorter lens with a wider field of view at 18mm and the same as the other lens at 55. It will not zoom in nearly as much. The reason to buy this lens is the wide f2.8 maximum aperture which is maintained at all focal lengths. This allows pictures in dim light.

The camera came with they call a "kit" lens. I purchased a 50mm lens additionally. I haven't even used the kit lens yet, because I was really longing for the 50mm! I should probably try it out. I'm pleased with my older model, used camera - don't know why I didn't think of it sooner!

The 18-55 lens is Canon brand but the other two aren't. These 2 can be attached to the Canon lens.

the camera is a silver and came with 14-42mm lens, what I needed is an extra lens 14-140mm also silver, there are plenty of black lens, but none of the place sell the silver, professional store people said in US only sell the silver camera, not silver 14-140mm lens. so we gave up on this camera. sorry, kind of picky, but all silver lens and camera are we wanted.

It appears the EF75-300mm lens and the 18-55mm lens both have a 58mm filter size, so you would need the Canon 250D 58mm close-up lens, not the 77mm version. Canon does make this 58mm close-up lens for this purpose (though listed as out-of-stock on Canon's web site, I have seen it listed on eBay and Amazon). With the zoom lenses, you will find that certain zoom setting will not work well or at all, but you just need to confine yourself to the working range and move the camera into the correct focusing position. Verify your filter ring size first, then go find the correct diameter version. Have fun!

I see that you already have an answer to the aperture question. I bought a 17mm prime lens which is awesome. The 18 - 55mm lens that came with the camera kit is adequate. Great for snapshot pictures, probably falls a little short for advanced amateur photo enthusiasts.

I'll be honest and say I don't know. It's a beautiful lens but I would suggest that if you leave close to a large photo store go in and see if they will let you play around with one. Sorry that I can't be more helpful.
