why would it not be sufficent?please advice as i would like to do general photo taking including fireworks
why wouldnt it?
another consideration is the 18-55mm and 70-300mm combination. That way if one lens down, got one more on standby.
what advice in general about this lens are you looking for?
its a telephoto lens.70-300mm is considered a tele lens or wide angle ?
its a telephoto lens.
there isnt. all up to the photographer.
there are those who use telephoto for landscape, wide angle for portraiture and so on so on.
see your style.
chercm said:is 18-55mm kit lens considered a wide angle ?
18-55 is sufficient already. 18-200 is of course great. Its a good lens at a reasonable price, with rather decent image quality. Some of the folks around here will tell u how much they love this lens. Plus, what is good is this lens gives u the wide and long flexibility, so it is especially useful when you travel and u can basically just bring one lens and conquer. :bsmilie:
it is. go and shoot and play around.
learn to use the lens to the fullest, you will know when you need an upgrade after that.
Stick to your kit lens for a while and learn how to use the DSLR first. If you don't get the fundementals right, no matter what lens u have, the pictures will not be good. Then you might as well get a point and shoot and save yourself all the weight and hassle.
