Lenses For Canon Rebel

I recently decided to look for some new lenses for canon rebel. I spent about a week going through all the options and I would like to present some of the stuff I learned here. First I guess I need to let you know the process I went through in looking at lenses.

There are several terms to take into consideration when buying lenses for canon rebel to make sure you are getting what you need.

Lens with aspheric lens elements will help produce sharper photographs and help keep lens weight down to a minimum. Lenses for canon rebel using internal and auto focusing also reduce lens weight and allows the camera to focus faster. Lenses with low dispersion glass reduce haze and fuzziness. And stabilization systems reduce the effects of hand shake and help to keep images sharp when taken using slow shutter speeds.

Now on to the boring details:

• Know Your Budget. Knowing your limits will help to refine your list of choices and keep you from spending more than you can afford.
• Know What Type of Lens You Want.
• The main categories of lenses are:
• fish-eye - Creates a hemispherical image and is typically less than 16mm in focal length.
• super-wide - Less than 20mm focal length.
• wide - 20-30mm focal length.
• standard - 30-50mm focal length.
• telephoto - 50-200mm focal length.
• super-telephoto - Greater than 200mm focal length.
• macro - Capable of creating 1:1 or greater magnification.
• Organize Your Wish List. Go online and create a list of each type of lens on your wish list. Next keep all the lenses that fit within your budget and drop the rest.
• Prioritize Your Lenses. Normally you get what you pay for. So stick with the lenses at the upper end of your budget. I’ve always bought the best I could afford and I’ve never regretted it, but I have friends that went cheap and constantly complain about poor results.
• Prioritize Your Choices. If you know you will want more than on type of lens, pick the one that fits your photography style you do the most. If you are out photographing flowers and bug most often, get the Macro lens.
• Research Research Research. You want as many outside opinions and evaluations as you can find on your lens choices. Visit several lens sites online and read the reviews, they may even point out some lenses that you overlooked. I find the reviews from people that use the lenses everyday especially valuable.
• Make Your Decision. At this point, you should have a good idea of which lens is the lens for Canon Rebel that best suits your style of photography from any given category.

When you're picking out lenses, there's no right or wrong lens for Cannon Rebel. There are only wrong applications for your lenses. So picking a lens is a matter of how you plan on using it. It is a balance of your wants, needs, and application settings. Just remember, know which lens fits which application, know how you plan on using the lens, and buy the best you can afford.
