Charles, a camera photo ratio of 2x3 can be printed as a 12x18 on 13x19 paper with no cropping. That will leave a 1/2 inch border all around without cropping the photo and allows using a mat that will only minimally reduce the framed image. You can print it as 13x19 if you don't want to have a border.
I have the 60D with the EF-S 18-135 IS USM lens. It is a really nice "S" series lens. I would recommend it as it gives you a decent wide angle up to a mild telephoto and save your money for a longer telephoto if you decide you need or want one. Personally I tend to want the capability of the wide angle more than the telephoto.
Norman, I know it looks like an acorn; however, there are no acorns around here and he was right under the crabapple tree. I think it was the lighting coupled with an over-ripe crabapple that makes it look like an acorn. Appreciate you looking and commenting.
