Advice on DSLR Camera zoom lens?




riggers


Hello all keen photographers!

I wondered if you'll could answer a few Q's for me..

1) Is this the correct order for the way a camera is built?

a) lens
b) aperture
c) shutter
d) image sensor

2) Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 AF D

what does the 'D' stand for?

3) 18-55mm lens

Is 18mm the distance between the lens and the shutter, or the distance between the lens and the aperture?
Likewise is 55mm the distance between the lens and the shutter, or the distance between the lens and the aperture?

4) If you'll have time and don't mind, could you have a look at some of my flics on 'Flickr'

I'd really appreciate some feedback on my shots. Good feedback, and especially critical feedback. (please leave a comment on each image post)

Lastly, thankyou all so very much for checking out my Q, and thanks in advance for your answers, I really appreciate it!

Answer
What do the letters mean?
G - A new subset of the D-type lenses, without an aperture ring. The aperture is set by a command dial on the camera body.
D - Lens provides distance to subject information to camera; useful for automatic flash setting
ED - Extra low dispersion glass; give superior sharpness and color rendition
IF - Internal focus - the lens does not rotate or extend as it focuses
AF-S - Auto-focus, silent wave focus engine contained inside the lens itself
DX - Lens formatted for digital sensors that should not be used on full frame cameras
VR - Vibration Reduction - a gyroscopic system to detect and correct camera shake to yield sharp images at slower shutter speeds

18mm and 55mm refer to the "focal length" of the lens. If you don't understand that, I suggest that you check out Wiki on the topic, as they will have illustrations to make it clear to you. Scroll down: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_length

I don't understand what you mean in the first question about the order in which a camera is made.

You would do a lot better if this was posted as four separate questions. Some people love giving photo critiques and others enjoy answering technical questions. Asking so many questions in one will chase some potential answerers away.

does this camera have zoom and focus on the lens?

Does this camera: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-T3i-Digital-Imaging-18-55mm/dp/B004J3V90Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353693294&sr=8-1&keywords=cannon+t3i

have a lens where you can focus and zoom using the lens? or do you have to get a lens for it.
Thanks!



Answer
It's a DSLR and it comes with a kit lens (18-55mm) which 'zooms' between 18mm (wide angle) and 55mm (normal range).

The lens will autofocus on the camera.
