I am rather new to the SLR world and am looking for a reference to all the lingo and acronyms used when describing lenses. Terms such as FA, SMC, A, M, Prime, M42, AF, IF… Some of these I know and others I think I can figure out with some logic, but others I have no clue and am looking to expand my lens collection beyond the kit 18-55mm lens. Can anyone point me in the right direction as I am sure somewhere on the net there is a list of all this. Thanks, Nathan ========== I'll take pity on you and give you a serious answer. http://stans-photography.info/ Stan Halpin's site gives reviews of older lenses. And Boz's site goes in the various lens terminology. http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/ Actually, you can find everything you need from links on Mark Robert's pages. http://www.robertstech.com/pentax.htm (I did like ED - Erectile Dysfunction. Hehehehe.) HTH, Marnie aka Doe Awww, newbies are meant to razzed. ;-) <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
