Lenses

So I'm getting closer and closer to purchasing a new camera and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to lenses that might be good to start off. I was thinking possibly 18-55mm and then later getting a 50mm and a 70-300mm.

What advice?

Re: Lenses

I have a 50mm which I like but I find that I use my zoom lens far more often. I have a 28 - 135 that I use most often. I like having the zoom but am looking forward to some new lenses. I just can't decide what I want most. What camera are you purchasing?

I have a 28-70mm and a 70-300mm. I would love the 50mm as well. One thing to note, if you are going with a larger zoom lens, make sure it has Image Stabalization. My 70-300mm does not have IS and I have only pulled it out of my bag a total of 10 times in the 3 years/9200 pictures that I have taken. You have to use a tripod to get a clear picture unless you have a REALLY steady hand. I am also looking for a larger/wide angle lens. Maybe for Christmas ... a girl can dream!
