Zoom lens for a Canon Rebel XT SLR Camera?
I need advise on what type of lens to purchase. I have a Canon Rebel XT camera. I want a lens that I can use to zoom in closer to the subject of the photo. As I have been searching, I see that there are telephoto, telephoto zoom, etc. I have no idea what to buy. I am not a professional photographer and can’t afford to spend $500 on a lens. What would be best for the average amature?
First the Definitions (simplistic, not technical):
Telephoto – Single Focal Length Lens that can shoot at far distances 300mm 400mm etc. Whatever you see is what you can get, there is no “Zooming” or widening of the frame.
Telephoto Zoom – Lenses that can shoot at a range of distances within a single lens, so you can have a (fairly) wide angle and zoom in to subjects further away. They are typically not as sharp as Telephotos, but they are more versitile and generally cheaper.
What would probably suit you best would be a Telephoto Zoom lens such as the Tamrom 28 – 200 mm. lens. It is a single lens that will allow you to take regular shots but also the ability to zoom in on subjects at a distance. It runs about $285, but will cover most of your basic needs without needing to buy several different lenses or needing to swap lenses quite so often.
