RE: Beginners Lens Selection (was: zx-30)

[Jeff Tsai]

Also, if you are reluctant to maintain a collection of prime (fixed focal length) lenses, you might consider at least breaking the zoom into ranges (28-80ish and 80-200+). You will find better quality and faster lenses are available if you do so... Cheers, Jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert P.
