Concerning focal length, use ExposurePlot (cpr.demon.nl/prog_plotf.html ) to graph the frequency of your choices of focal lengths in the kit zoom. If you find a large spike at the upper limit, look for a medium telephoto lens. If you find a large spike at the lower limit, look for an extreme wide angle lens. If almost all photos are at similar focal lengths, you might not need a zoom at all and could benefit from the better optics of a prime (fixed focal length) lens. Similarly, plot apertures: if many are the lowest possible, look for a brighter lens. | |
