Can someone explain the zoom range ? Like the 18-200mm lens I'm looking at has a 11.1x zoom range vs the 300mm one which only has a 4.3x zoom range. What difference will it look like in my pictures?
The 17-55 f2.8 & the 70-200mm f2.8 VR II are definitely out of my budget though  ... something under 1000? |
FYI- the "x" rating of a zoom rating is useless really- it just takes your max focal length and divides it by your min.
For lenses, the important numbers are the actual focal lengths (taking into account any crop factors, which in your case is "focal length x 1.5") and the aperture numbers. There are numerous other factors in lens construction price, but those are the first ones that people normally look at.
