what's the best lens for my purposes???
i'd like to get a digital slr to shoot my artwork. that is all the
camera will EVER be used for. i want a lens that will suit my needs. i believe 50mm is slightly wide, is it not? so i need 55mm, and for convenience anything up to 85mm, maybe. most important is the lens have as little distortion as possible should i get ,,, 1...50mm only 2...85mm only 3...55mm-200mm zoom 4...24mm - 85mm zoom 5...18mm - 55mm zoom these are the lenses available for the canon. the problem: 50mm might be wide, yes? and because i have limited space to go back in my setup, i am worried that an 85mm will give me problems on larger paintings. and the zoom gives me my 55mm, but it is a zoom and i am concerned about distortion. the nikon lenses have roughly the same. if i am worried about distortion, BUT settle on a zoom(because of the 55mm) would a 55-200 be better than a 28-80. i'm not too cozy with the idea of a wide to telephoto format like the 28-80. btw,,,i will have absolutely ZERO need for a wide. i wish there were a 55-85. thanks |
