hi there, i am new to photography, but want to take this up as a hobby and hopefully buy myself a dslr sometime soon but anm trying to learn as much as possible before hand. i have been trying to figure a few things out about lenses. if someone could either point me in the right direction to online material (in dummy terms, cant understand all the big words ) or if you could answer a couple of the below questions.
1. how far can a lens zoom in? i.e 18-55mm / 70-300mm ?
2. what is classed as a wide angle lens, and what does this do? are these more commonly used for landscapes?
3. what size of lens is generally used for everyday walkabout?
hope someone can help or point me in the right direction. it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
