I think that at least most of the lenses suggested so far are primes (not surprisingly). However, if "cheap zooms" qualify, I'd suggest the "stealth mode" A 35-70/4, which is quite a decent little lens, and which has a surprisingly good "macro" function (and at 70mm - at its "long" end, too). I have sometimes seen these critters sell pretty inexpensively on eBay... Fred
