Hi just brought a cannon 450d, my first slr, have a Sony Cybershot but could never zoom into anything, thats why i brought the slr. Looking to buy a zoom lens, been reading up on len`s but just more confused now then before. You know what they say, a bit of knowledge is dangours.
Read some where that to find the zoom you have to divide the lowest into the highest, ie 28-300 = 300/28 = 11x zoom, but was talking to someone who said 50 is the normal eye or something, so its 50 into 300, so it would be 6x zoom??????.
We go Scotland quite a bit, and has a example of what i am after. Saw this eagle perched on top of a telegraph pole, zoomed in as much has i could with the cybershot, but when looking at the photo, could not tell what kind of bird it was. So i am after something that would enable me to zoom right up to it.
thks
