Before anyone posts a "which lens" or "which camera" type thread, I recommend they think about the following (as a minimum) and provide the answers to these questions in their first post. Shameless copy and paste from one of my posts in Baz's threads:

* Zoom or prime lenses? Zoom will offer more flexibility, but primes tend to be sharper on average.
* What body you going to put it on? Crop or FF?
* Indoors or outdoors shooting?
* What do you want to shoot? Do you normally shoot wide, close, telephoto?
* What's your budget?
* The "right" solution may need to consider whether it's just for personal use or if you're thinking of going professional.
* Would you consider 3rd party lenses other than Canon/Nikon (eg Sigma, Tokina, Tamron, Zeiss)
* What flash power and requirements do you need?
* What gear do you currently have (body, lenses, flash, tripod, other accessories)?
