If you’re just joining us, I’ve been writing a series of entries for neophytes with DSLRs–mainly people who have been too scared to move their camera off “AUTO.” Think of me… think of us… as your online support group. We want you to succeed and start exploring what your camera can really do. Your knowledge is a whole lot more important than which specific camera you’re gripping.
If you’ve had your camera any length of time you’ve probably pondered buying a new lens or lenses and you’ve been floored by the choices available. A friend of mine who worked his way through college selling men’s suits says he used to bring them out one-at-a-time because with too many choices people would buy nothing at all! No one wants to make a mistake. It’s that way with lenses. It would be easier to make a purchase if there were fewer to choose from.
So, what’s it going to be? I’m not going to steer you toward a specific brand or size, but I do have some advice to help you narrow your choices. I can see this is going to take more than one entry to cover properly, so lets start with prime lenses versus zoom.
