QUOTE(ebernie @ Mar 7 2008, 02:15 PM) 30mm is too short for portrait. Get 85mm / 105mm / 135mm. Problem is... such primes either don't auto focus or is very expensive. ya...tat's why i din list it out at 1st place...considering tat we r in d40/x thread... i presume tat he is using such camera...

QUOTE(Victor3010 @ Mar 11 2008, 06:45 PM) prime lens means that it has a fixed focal length, zoom means can adjust focal length, same like a digital camera 3x optical zoom or digital...normally fixed focal length lens has a bigger aperture and the price is greater, variable focal length lens usually come with a variable aperture, for fixed aperture, the price is a lot higher... for example:zoom lens such as 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 meaning can zoom range fr 18mm to 55mm... prime lense such as 50mm f1.8 only hv fixed 50mm focal length... |
