Canon 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 FD Lens

This is my walk-about lens. I never leave home without it.

Granted it doesn't handle low light too well, but it doesn't stop it from being a good lens. It's served me well, and taken many good shots.

I would highly recommend this lens as a first lens for someone starting out.
