Im looking at getting a Canon SLR 30D body only, how do I begin to decide which lens to buy seperately?
I am fairly new to cameras and photography. I have been doing research about this camera for a little while and I have come to a conclusion that most people recommend to buy just the body and the lens seperately. How do I know which kind to buy? Is there a website that can help me make a decision?
My dad gave me his old Canon camera from the 80's which came with new lens. Umm Im not too sure if this is what they are called but one of them says Canon Lens FD 50MM 1: 1.4 (Made in Japan) and the other says Canon Zoom Lens FD 35-105mm 1: 3.5 (Made in Japan)
**Edit: I meant to say it came with two lens, not new lens. They are kind of old but still work :]
***As for what kind of pictures I will be taking. Im looking at buying this camera for traveling with my familiy. Mainly to be used out doors on vacations and capturing moments with friends.
If I'm not mistaken those lenses will not work with a 30D body. FD lenses are the older style and EF are the newer design. Someone with more experience in photography should be able to verify this. You may also want to wikipedia 'Canon FD Lens' and 'Canon EF Lens'. There is a lot of information about this on wikipedia (if it hasn't changed since I last went on there.
I often recommend that you try to determine what kind of shots you want to get. Without much experience taking photos it may take some trial and error to figure out exactly what you need. For instance: Taking pictures of family and friends will likely require a simple approach of maybe a 50mm lens. But if you find you also want to be able to take some zoomed in shots perhaps you'd want to go with a 28-80mm or even a 28-200mm. It really depends on what you'll be doing, and what you want to be able to do.
Try to buy lenses that will allow you to take the type of shots you want without overlapping too much. This will help save you some money. For instance: for everyday shooting of friends and family lets say you buy a 28-80mm lens, but you want to also take some nice shots of birds in a tree. There is no point in buying a 28-80mm and a 28-300mm lens. They overlap... you 'may' desire this overlap, but I think you'd find yourself with a lens you wouldn't use very much (in favor of the other). I'd recommend buying the 28-80mm and then a 70-300mm or something like that. This way when you go out shooting (with a particular subject in mind) you could just take one lens.
Also, don't make the mistake of thinking that money = quality. It is partially true, but not always. I hear some people say 'only buy expensive Canon lenses or you won't take good shots'. Well if you are a horrible photographer you'll never take good shots no matter how expensive they are. If you are a really good photographer you can spend far less and still take good shots. So keep your budget in mind - don't go overboard thinking you need the best of the best.
Shy away from lenses that have a very large zoom range (ie: 28-500mm) this is outrageous. Not only would I doubt that the quality would be high throughout the entire zoom range, but I doubt the lense would work well for a long time. This kind of zoom range will cause a lot of wear on the internal parts.
A typical rule of thumb for whether or not a lense is meant for 'professionals' (everyone thinks they are professionals now-a-days) is the f-stop. For example: any lense that is f 2.8 or lower is a bright lens and typically geared toward professional use. The front element will be large and the lens will be heavy. f 5.6 is cheap and darker and aimed for the weekend photographer. f 3.5 is your middle-ground.
Don't be affraid to look at 3rd party lenses either. Tamron and Sigma make good lenses too. I favor Tamron (mostly because I repair them everyday). Sigma is nice too (although I really have no hands-on use with them). Just look around for reviews and try to determine if there are any to shy away from.
