Hi guys!
I developed a website to help newbies find which camera lens should they buy next as an upgrade or 2nd lens.
Here's a list of questions you can ask yourself that can help you identify which camera lens is suited to your shooting style. You may click on the different camera lens categories to find the available lenses for you.
QUESTIONNAIRE:
Do you hate changing lenses when shooting? Do you want just one lens to shoot everything?
YES: Get yourself an "All-in-One Zoom" lens
NO: Proceed to next question
Are you happy with the range of your kit zoom, but want a lens that provide sharper images and handle better low light situations?
YES: Get yourself a "Fast Midrange Zoom" lens
NO: If you want a different range of focal lengths, proceed to next question.
Look at your shooting pattern. What kind of photos do you really love to shoot? See the different categories you love to shoot below. There may be some overlaps so answer all the questions that apply.

I want to shoot racing, skiing or other sports from long rage:
