[Brightcolours]

Hello all,


I am a relative newbie and am thinking about graduating up from the stock lens I purchased when I bought my camera (18-135mm 3.5-5.6f). I also have a 50mm 1.8f which I use for portraits. I am thinking of getting a new and affordable lens but am not sure what to look for.


What I'd like is better looking photos with increased depth of field (if possible) and perhaps something lighter.


I would generally use this as a walk-around lens and for traveling.


Welcome some suggestions!

Do you perhaps mean decreased depth of field? You can increase DOF by closing down the aperture.
