hi all, i'm torn between the 400D + 17-85 IS USM promo lens or 400D + 18-55 kit lens.
i like to snap portraits, flowers, kids and landscapes. Backpacking quite a bit too, therefore can't afford to carry an extra len.
is the 17-85 IS USM as good as 50mm/1.8 for portraits?
any latest price for the 400D + 17-85 IS USM and location?
pls advise. tks.

I recommend you start with 18-55mm and 50mm F1.8 lens first.

PS : 17-85mm IS not cheap though
