First lens for a beginner

For most of us, we purchased lenses when we feel a struggle and through research realize a lens is the best way to deal with it. It sounds like you are in the beginning of your journey and probably haven't hit a wall with your current gear. If this is the case, then I want to sway you a bit.

Your 18-55 is great to learn on and take stunning images. You will outgrow it, but you need to out grow it.

You don't have a prime lens yet, which will teach you yet another way to look at photography. You can't simulate this experience, or even substitute it. You must buy one eventually.

I suggest you buy a 50mm or 35mm DA lens. If they are too costly, look for a SMC-M or SMC-A 50mm f1.7 lens. These lenses will help you grow and develop your eye. When you have gone through this process, replacing your 18-55 will be much easier. It won't be difficult to make your next purchase decision, you will know what you need next.
