I am going to buy a Canon 60D. I am a newbie. Should I buy a set of 18-135 or 15-85 lenses? I basically don’t plan to buy any other lenses. It is for life and travel~

Since you are a novice and it is used for daily life and travel, the most important thing is that you do not plan to buy another lens.

Then the focal length of the 18-135 kit lens is more practical, ranging from wide angle to medium telephoto, which can basically meet the needs of daily shooting and travel shooting scenery.

The image quality of 15-85 will be slightly better, but the longest focal length is only 85, which often feels a bit short when traveling. Some distant shots are not convenient, and the shooting subject matter will be a bit limited.

.

So I personally recommend buying an 18-135 lens, which is enough for daily life and travel.

Also, are you really sure you won’t think about lenses again in the future?

After all, the 18-135 is a low-end lens with a practical focal length, and the focal length of a better quality lens is not enough to allow you to shoot many subjects with one lens. So if you choose the 18-135 lens, you need to lower some requirements on image quality, distortion, etc.
