I have two zoom lenses, a 28-80 and 70-300. Both are inexpensive lenses; the shorter one came with my rebel 3000 and the 70-300 is a Tamron. Both take decent pictures, and with the 1.25x correction factor, I have a pretty big range captured. I mainly use the large lens for shooting auto races. A 50/1.8 would be great for general use as the others said, but I do like having a little bit of zoom. For an equivalent price you loose a little picture quality and have a higher aperture limit with a zoom though.
