some people are real sticklers on staying with their camera brand lenses, but sigma & tamron make decent lenses.

imo, telephoto lenses are neat, but their novelty runs out pretty quick. i find i get more use out of wide angle lenses.

also, a normal lens with large aperture (like 1.4) comes in really handy. ("normal" being 35mm in the dslr format) the larger aperture is great for low light, i take a lot of live shots of local bands, and i'm able to get shots without using a flash.
