When shopping for a Digital SLR Camera people often overlook or skimp on the camera’s lenses.
Focal Length. Lenses can be classified into subgroups like prime, macro, wide angle, normal, telephoto, and zoom lenses.
Prime Lenses:
Prime lenses are fixed focal length lenses like a 50mm 1.4f lens. Traditionally prime lenses are sharper and faster then zoom lenses.
Macro Lenses:
Examples of macro lenses are 50mm and 100mm macros.
Wide-angle Lenses:
Wide-angle lenses are your broad stroke brushes; these types of lenses have short focal lengths. With high quality wide angles lenses like Canon L series lenses address this convergence issue well. Examples of wide-angle lenses are 15MM, 17mm, 24mm and 28mm lenses.
Normal Lenses:
If you buy just one lens try and buy the fastest normal lenses you can like a 50mm 1.4f lenses. Some examples of normal lenses are 35mm; 50mm, 65mm and some consider a 80mm a normal lens.
Telephoto Lenses:
Lenses with long focal lengths 100mm and higher are called telephoto lenses.
Zoom Lenses:
In my bag I carry a 17mm to 35mm my wide-angle broad brush, 24mm to 70mm my medium brush, and a 80mm to 200mm my short brush. Zoom lenses can give you flexibility and versatility all in one lenses.
You Can Afford A New Lens For Your DSLR Camera
Executive Summary about Digital SLR Camera Lens by Charlie Chalk
You’ve bought your Canon Digital Rebel XT, or your Nikon D80 and it’s come with a nice kit lens.
Aside from Nikon and Canon’s own excellent range of lenses an equally high quality but crucially less expensive group are those from the third party manufacturers.
As both Canon and Nikon have a huge back catalogue of theirs and third party manufacturers lenses from the 35mm Film SLR days that STILL FIT the DSLR cameras of today YOU have a massive selection of second hand lenses to choose from.
Take no notice of the new range of ’specially manufactured for Digital SLR cameras’ lenses that Nikon, Canon and the other manufacturers produce and go to the older film SLR sections.
Camera lenses, especially those that are a step up from the entry level ones, are built to last. So before you loose interest in your new toy because the Digital Rebels kit lens just isn’t cutting it, or your Nikon D80’s kit lens doesn’t give you a better picture than your old point and shoot take a look round the second hand stores, the auction sites or the classifieds and see if you can pick up a bargain piece of glass!
