Is this a Good Lens?, Tamron AF28-80mm F/3.5-5.6 Lens?
ive been shopping around on Ebay
for my first Slr Camera
the cheapest I found [including shipping]
$501.11 Canon Rebel Xs
comes with
Body, Tamron AF28-80mm F/3.5-5.6 Lens, Wide angle lens, High Grade Telephoto Converter Lens, 4GB SD Memory Card, UV Filter, Multi-Card Reader For USB Port, Memory Card Wallet, Deluxe Soft padded Shockproof Case for Professional Digital Camera, Deluxe Photo / Video Fluid Head Tripod, Table Top Tripod, Camera and Lens Cleaning Kit, Screen Protectors, Canon LP-E5 Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery, Canon Quick Charger, Canon Wide Strap, Canon Video Cable,Canon USB Cable, Canon Software CD-ROM
Okay lets see ... one step at a time.
* Most entry level DSLR's come with a 18-55 mm lens. Perfect for shooting landscapes, groups, friends and doing portraits. The 28-80 is a lens designed for use on 35 mm and full frame DSLR's, not the camera you are buying. It canNOT shoot landscapes, nor can it shoot groups of people @ 28 mm it is nearly a "normal" lens.
* If you look the so-called "wide angle lens is NOT a lens but an add-on converter to make your 28 -80 mm act like a wide angle lens depending upon that its magnification factor is 0.40x, 0.25x, etc.
* Same with the "telephoto converter" Very low quality images can be expected from these two add-on "lenses"
ALL this stuff, leads me to believe that the camera you are buying is a gray market camera and all the "stuff" is an incentive to get you to buy a camera that may cause you a multitude of problems if it ever needs to be repaired.
Here is what a Canon Rebel XS camera with a 18-55 mm lens and all the things Canon places in the cameras box costs from a reputable camera store on line.
What is in the official Canon box:
Rebel XS Body (Black or Silver)
EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS Lens
Wide Strap EW-100DBIII
Video Cable VC-100
USB Interface Cable IFC-200U
Battery Pack LP-E5
Battery Charger LC-E5
EOS Digital Solution Disk and Instruction Manuals
"Great Photography is Easy" Booklet and "Do More with Macro" Booklet

Be fearful of eBay. Many slimy creatures inhabit its nooks and crannies
If you later want a second lens, the best next lens would be the Canon 55-200 mm so you can shoot sports, action and some wildlife shots.
Avoiding generic lenses is usually prudent
