@giorgos1503197 This lens is fine for everyday photography and I'm sure you will be more than happy with it.

Im a noob so i need an answer to this ^^ Which will zoom further? This lens, 24-70mm, or 18-135mm?

[glamterra]

@Appleaddict22 - 135mm. The longer the focal length the more zoom.

for a person buying a new camera, a good deal would be :

1) Camera : Canon Rebel series EOS 500D or 550D (without the kit lens 35-55mm f3.5-5, just a waste of money) You straight away save around $100.

2) Lenses : a) A prime lens for close, sharp & artistic pictures : EF50mm f/1.8 II lens Cost : Around $ 80 -100 b) A telephoto lens for zoomed photography like nature & chicks !!! : Canon 55-250mm 4-5.6 IS lens Cost : Around $ 120 -

130

Camera + 2 lenses = 1 AWESOME DEAL !

@NewJersey117 He didn't. The lens extends when it focuses.

[NewJersey117]

how did you zoom with it without touching the lens?

[charlescho]

@devonyea100 what he did was fine. he was changing the zoom. he was not touching the focus ring.

@giorgos1503197 Maybe the 55-250 IS II

[Stepanik7]

@devonyea100 he is holding the zoom ring not the focus.

[YourFaceIsVeryUgly]

The lens actually focuses much faster than this... YOU DO NOT TEST FOCUS SPEED WITH THE LENS CAP STILL ON. The camera will deliberately slow down the focusing because there is no feedback.

[devonyea100]

@gabiel19 OH OK THX

[gabiel19]

@devonyea100 what he's doing is safe. what's not safe is to touch the focus ring while in AF mode, it will damage the lens for sure

[thejan4129]

@TanyaConlin yes you will!
