 | Canon EF - Zoom lens - 28 mm - 135 mm - f/3.5-5.6 IS USM - Canon EF
Buy new: £314.99 / Used from: £215.00 My walkaround lens. Image stabilisation is a great help in lower light and with slightly more reach then a standard kit, the 135mm really comes in handy.

 | Sigma 70-300mm APO f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Nikon fit Lens
Buy new: £178.25 / Used from: £109.99 Although cheaper then a Canon lens with the same range this sigma lens gives great results and also includes a macro feature at the 200-300mm end of the zoom.

 | Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX DC HSM - Canon fit lens
Buy new: £362.07 / Used from: £320.97 This is the one item on this list that I don't actually own, but it is next on my list. The super-wide angle is great for landscape and architectural shots and this lens is very well reviewed.
