Question

Lenses for Canon 760D

Aug 18, 2015 7:06AM PDT

I had zeroed in on the 70D, but I ended up recently buying the canon 760D (Rebel T6s) with the 18-135 STM Lens kit lens. This was because this DSLR has both the EF and EF-S mount compatibility.
I went through a lot of articles but they only confused me further. So here are my direct questions
I am left with about $600 (roughly Rs.38000) and I want to buy two lenses.
Is it too early to invest in lenses (since I already have the kit lens)?
Is my budget too less and I should wait?
What 2 lenses should I invest in (if there are any within that range)?
Please help

Too early.

18 to 135 would cover almost all the shots I've taken with my t4i. I have 3 lenses. The stock 18-55, the 55-250 zoom and a fixed 40. You need to see how much use you get from that 18-135 and depending on the shots can decide if you want another lens.

For me, a fixed 40 to 50 lens has been very useful. Its low light capability meant I could use it for indoor shots without flash. No, it's not what I call low light. For low light we add light.
