(In that case, I'm boned, I've got a lot more than those that will fit on my Canons.)

Back to OP, depends on your budget. A 55-250 is cheap, just grab a second-hand one off fleabay from people who bought kits and then split it up. The 18-55IS isn't the best lens ever made, but it ain't bad for the price. EFs 15-85 will give you damn nice IQ, wider and longer, but it's expensive. Cheaper is the 70-300 nonL, it's a fine lens up to 250mm. Would you rather carry one lens, stop zooming at 85mm, or 135mm, or change lenses and get all the way to 200 or 300?
