best camera lens canon image
Jonathan G
I bought a canon xsi and I need help choosing a lens, I'm planning to get a 28-300mm lens, if you can point out the advantages and disadvantages on the camera lens it would be so great.
Answer
Don't get something with such a huge focal length range. Making a lens that can cover such a range means that they have to make a lot of sacrifices in image quality. Also, most photography happens in the 20-100mm rang so there's no point having a physically huge lens on your camera when most of your photography doesn't require it. The whole benefit of SLRs is that you can switch lenses.

Hello, I have a canon DSLR and I have the 18-135mm standard zoom lens. I love it, I've taken some great pictures with it. Thing is, I want to take pictures of wildlife and landscape. So do I need a new camera lens for those?
Answer
For wildlife, most definitely, Animals are notoriously skittish when it comes to people. You want to have access to at least the equivalent of a 400mm lens on a 35 mm camera (longer if you can afford it). You could probably get by with the 18mm focal length on your kit lens for landscapes. Though eventually you might want to get a better lens. (nothing wrong with your lens, but there are ALWAYS better lenses available!)
For landscapes, you might want to try panorama photos, where you take several photos in sequence but with each photo, the lens is moved a little before the shot is taken showing more and more of the landscape as the lens sweeps to the left or right in increments.
Then, if you are very consistent in exposure and focus, you can use special software called a stitching application, which will electronically 'cut and paste' the multiple photos into a single large photo.
An excellent free application for this purpose is called Hugin Photo Stitcher you can find it on Sourceforge here:http://hugin.sourceforge.net/
Good luck!
