We'll it happen! Camera & Tripod tipping forward before my eyes and no way to get to it in time. Fell right on the lens, which once inspected physicly looked ok but when I tried to use it the mechanism inside to move the lens in and out is binding up/jamed so I'm clamming it toast. I'm looking for the exact replacement but if someone has something close for around the same price that will work too. Canon 18-55mm Lens (or close too) P.S. If anyone knows someone/somewhere else that there are a few of these please let me know. I know they're pretty commin to sell as there the default lens on the Digital Rebel, XT, XTi.
Depending on where you purchased it but generally Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. all include the 18-55mm lens with the kit.
