camera lenses for canon rebel
I need help with Canon Rebel XTi camera lenses?
I’ve had a digital camera for a while now, but it’s pretty basic… I’ve saved up for a Canon Rebel XTi, a camera I really like, but I still have a few questions.
What’s the deal with lenses? The digital camera I was using didn’t have change-able lenses, so I’m clueless; what kind of lenses can go on a Canon Rebel XTi? Are all Canon lenses compatible, or are there certain ones for each specific camera make?
Also, if you have any tips about lenses or what kind I should get, that would be helpful, too.
NOTE: The XTi is discontinued and has been replaced by the XSi.
All camera manufacturers use a proprietary lens mount so just buy Canon lenses for your Canon camera. Tamron, Sigma and Tokina also make lenses for your camera.
Buy the camera with the standard 18-55mm lens. You’ll need to spend time READING & STUDYING the Owner’s Manual for your new camera. Then, spend 3 to 6 months actually learning to use the camera and lens before even thinking about another lens. During this learning time you will begin discovering what type of photography you do the most and the capabilities/limitations of the 18-55mm lens.
Buy and read this book: “David Busch’s Quick Snap Guide to Using Digital SLR Lenses” http://www.dbusch.com Since he has written a Guide for your camera you should buy it also. It will help make the Owner’s Manual clearer and more easily understood.
I strongly urge ignoring any lens purchase suggestions at this time. Since you have no idea (yet) of the type of photography you like doing how can anyone else know what lens or lenses you need?
Taking a couple of photography classes would really help. If classes aren’t possible then you’ll have to self-educate. Its more difficult but doable.
Here are some books worth having:
“Understanding Exposure” & “Understanding Shutter Speed”, both by Bryan Peterson.
“Digital SLR Handbook” by John Freeman.
“The Art of Digital Photography” by Joseph Meehan.
I believe anyone seriously interested in photography should have their own personal library of photography books. Consider them as an investment.
A subscription to a photography magazine would be helpful. My personal favorite is SHUTTERBUG ( http://www.shutterbug.com ) but you should read the ones at your library and decide for yourself which one you like.
I bought my first real camera – a Minolta SRT-100 – in July of 1971. It came with a 50mm f1.7 lens. If memory serves, it was at least a year before I bought another lens.
