Now need wider lens. looking at 50-135 and amazing shot or and 16-50 the same just great shot. also 12-24 or sigma 10-20 any comment
50-135 is barely any wider than 60-250. No point in that if you just want wider rather than faster.
Since you're new to SLRs, maybe you should pick up a kit lens (18-55) cheap, use it for a while, and if you decide if you feel like you need to go a lot wider, or you feel like you need to go longer while staying close to that wide, or if that's a comfortable range. If it's comfy, go for the 16-50 2.8. If you want a bit more range, you might go with the 17-70 f/4. If you feel like you need to go wider than that, you might be better off getting a 12-24 or going much wider with a Sigma 8-16. If you do that, you'll need something to fill the gap, either a zoom like the 16-50 or maybe some primes, like the 35mm 2.4 and 50mm 1.8, or the 21mm 3.2 and 40mm 2.8 limited primes, or the 20-40 limited zoom.
