Hi everyone, I'm after a bit of advice. I’ve got an old (ish) DSLR that was my dad, It’s a Canon 400D and I was thinking about getting a wide angle lens for it. Nothing fancy, and even a second hand one, but I don’t know where to start looking.
I asked a photographer friend and he said this: With a wide angle lens if it’s a prime fixed focal length i.e. 24mm as opposed to a zoom lens the image quality is usually a little better but you’ll get more flexibility out of a shorter zoom range say 24mm-50mm for example.
Only problem is that I'm not too sure what this means, or where to start looking. Does anyone have any recommendations on specific lenses, or even brands.
I'm hopeful that a lens will make my photos look better but the worry is that it's me and not the camera that's the problem!
