Excellent news lbl. Glad that on'e sorted. Right...now...focal length. In the days of 35mm film, before digital sensors, a standard lens was a 50mm and a portrait lens about 75mm. The sensor in your camera is less than full size and it gets very technical so I won't even go there. Anyway it effects the focal length of the lens so to achieve the equivalent of a 50mm lens on a full frame sensor camera, you, yes you, will have to use a 35mm lens and for portrait work, which is 75-80mm on a full frame sensor, a 50mm is the equivalent.lilbitlonely wrote: So, um... Yeah, I imagine things should work a little better now. (Sheepishly exits - Stage left.)
So exactly as Endless War suggested these are two very useful fixed focal length lens sizes and should cover most situations for photographing your lovely girls. Tripod.....vital piece of kit. Good idea to buy used because it needs to be sturdy, Manfrotto and such like.
Again, I hope I haven't confused you any.
Happy holidays to you and yours.
