zoom lens help

[KevinACrider]

Keep in mind when reading reviews on lens's that more than likely the person reviewing the lens and giving it a rave review probably does not own a better lens and therefore doesn't have much to compare it to. I would highly recommend taking a trip to your local camera store, they usually let you test out the lenses in the store.

Ken Rockwell and dpreview usually give good reviews. You dont have to worry about them not having better lenses.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
