Would anyone have any recommendations for a starter budget lense to expand on what I have? When buying lenses does one stick with the manufacturer of the camera or are there independent companies selling affordable lenses? Please feel free to post a link to a YouTube channel and a "Watch this, it will answer all your questions" as I find a lot of videos aside from the very basic tutorials I have watched are primarily concerned with video which I have no real interest in and a fair few others are just people advertising their service or trying to sell something.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give
