70d ordered, need help for lenses and advice!

[[Death]]

Hey all,
Wife ordered me a present yesterday, a 70d (body only) , So i am looking for advice on a few lenses to get and best place to get them, i have not done photography for many years now, but really want to get back in, been checking some local sites for some small courses.

From what i can see , LOTS AND LOTS to learn! ISO, aperture etc etc, I did say the 70d was probably too much of a massive curve for a beginner, but hey if i can learn on it, i should be able to use most others!

So, What would be the best glass to get, after reading around a few people say the 50mm f1.8 is nice, 100mm macro is a definite (looking at Sh4rkie's pictures) , are the kit lenses 18 - 55mm and 18 - 135mm any good?

Maybe when i get it all down i will get a 300mm so i can get some wildlife pictures / Nature as that interests me a lot.

So what would you all recommend?

Nature / wildlife / buildings and landscapes and some portraits of family . So a wide variation really , want to get the best I can for the best price, cost is not too much of an issue as I can save and get bit by bit!

Thanks for the help, as I said I can save for each one not much issue, looking forward to getting into it, looking in the macro thread is amazing too
