lens help for a new 5D guy

[jimmy]

I just got a 5D with the kit, and 50mm 1.7 lens, happy with both,"I'm new to this SLR world" I would like one more lens to get to about150mm to 200, I'm no pro, in fact I'm not even close, so I need advise on what is the best "cost vs quality" option for me. I would like to stay on the "cheep" side of the fence.

thanks for you help PS I HAVE NOT READ GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE 18X200 BOTH 3RD PARTY AND MINOLTS LENS. true or false?

hey there jimmy,
i am only new to the 5D as well. Had mine for 3 weeks now and i am very pleased with it. I got what i consider to be a good ....very good buy. Paid AU $1250 for the KM 5D, with that i got 18-70 and 75-300 lens. I have spent many hours with this set up now and have not wanted or needed another lens ...AS YET. I know in time i will spend the money and buy other lenses but i need to be comfortable with what i have first.........GREAT CAMERA
