That would completely depend on your budget and the type of Photography you intend to do. A good starting point would be a zoom lens that covers a wide to telephoto range for general photography such as the 28-105 but of course you have to take the crop factor in to account when buying lenses. This is dependant on the image sensor you are using if it is a digital camera. If you are using a film camera or a full frame sensor then the focal length stated on the lens will be what you get. But if it is an APS-C sized sensor there is a 1.6X crop factor to accout for. On the professional 1D range most have the APS-H sized sensor which is larger and gives a 1.3X crop factor. This would mean that using the 28-105mm lens would actually be a 35-132 for the APS-H and 44-167 for the APS-C. So if photography is a hobby and you do not want to be spending thousands on professional L series lenses then you won't need more than 1 or 2! I hope this helped you! I personally use a 28-80mm and 100mm because this allows me to do my two favourite things; Macro and Landscapes.
