As a real rookie to this DSLR system, and in danger of developing LLD, may I ask if there is a glossary explaining the different lens definitions and abbreviations? I know this is old hat to most, and your yearnings make interesting and compelling reading; but what's the point of me getting dewy eyed about a gizmo that has as much relevance at present as an off-road motorcycle?
Phase two.
I'm due to get new knees in the near future, lucky me. I live in an area where there are many photo opportunities, however I'm unlikely to be able to get close enough with a kit lens to shoot anything worthwhile (Cliff coastal paths etc). I'll be restricted in my movements due to the knee probs, and back surgery, so I reckon I'll need to get myself a lens capable of telephoto/zoom operation for widlife and sports. Plus something for scenic work.
Any suggestions with the rationale behind them would be appreciated, also donations to my lens fund would pacify herself! :lol:
