I was wondering what is the best lens under £100 as a general purpose walkaround lens, which can be used for landscapes, and that sort of thing?
I'd like to have a good close focus and preferably a zoom of around 20-60mm ish. It is for a canon 400d. Any suggestions?
Cheers,

sounds to me like the kit lens would be the ideal solution, you should be able to pick one up secondhand for ~£40... Sigma make a similar 18-50mm lens (~£70). The Canon kit lens gets a lot of bad press but it's really not that bad and is a good, cheap landscape/portrait lens.
