Inexpensive Minolta SLR Camera Lens
If you purchased your Minolta camera lens as part of a kit, you already have a basic lens that takes pretty good pictures. However, part of the attraction of this type of camera is that you can switch out lenses to get the best shot in any situation. From powerful zooms that get you up close to high-speed lenses that specialize in low-light settings, you have plenty of options for your second lens. While some lenses may go for more than you spent on your camera, you don't have to pay a lot to get a great lens. The real question is: how do you find the right one for your needs?
In the world of traditional 35mm film, focal lengths ranging from 16mm to 35mm are generally considered wide-angle. A 50mm lens is referred to as "normal"--because it comes closest to covering the same field of view as the human eye--and anything over 100mm is considered telephoto. However, focal length is a bit more complicated when it comes to DSLRs. That's because the cameras' image sensors are smaller than 35mm film, so they crop out some of the image and give the effect of a longer focal length. To get a sense of how this discrepancy will impact the viewing angle of your lens, you have to multiply the digital camera's crop factor--which you'll find in its manual--by the focal length of the lens.
