Welcome to the Forum!


If I was to suggest one lens, it'd be the 17-55. There's practically nothing wrong with it, it'll cost you ~$1000. However, I completely agree with John (neuroanatomist) – hire a pro. If not, you can rent lenses from lensrentals.com. It costs about $50 for 7 days for a good lens. That way, you can take pictures but not spend $1000. If you're looking into buying a lens for everyday use, start a new thread for that! Again, hiring a pro is probably the best idea.


Good Luck!
