Hi,

as the title suggest narrowed our choice down to the 8000D as it is called over here in japan.

The options we have are:

for the double zoom kit lens ( EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM for 100,000 yen (roughly 514 british pounds)

Or

Just a one lens package, EF-S18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM for 104,900 yen (£539

Dicussing with the wife, and she is leaning towards the single lens kit, but I was thinking having more lenses is the better option.

Reason for buying is her eos 20d after 10 years of use is ready to be replaced.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

Tim.
 
What lenses do you already have for the 20D?

What kind of shooting do you do?

Personally I'd buy the 18-135 kit and then add a telephoto lens later if I found I wanted longer reach. The 18-135 is a decent lens for the price.

This really, however I would be looking pat body only offers and looking for something like apter canon 15-85mm or sigma 18-35mm f/1.8
 
The lenses we have for the 20d are:

Tamron 28-300mm f3.5-6.3

And

Canon ultrasonic 28-80mm 3.5-5.6

After typing that out maybe the 1 lens kit would be a better option, of course other opinions are welcome.

As for what we are shooting, mainly for our baby son, and my wife likes taking photos of flowers mainly. As for myself I take photos of anything.

Take the 18-135mm kit lens and add a 50mm f1.8 for flowers and portraits (they cost peanuts), then throw those 2 old lenses you have on Ebay and sell them for beer change, you may even cover the cost of the 50mm with the sale price.
