I've been using one for a while now and I have a couple of questions regarding lenses. Hit me up if possible.

Replies virtuoso Posted at 9:54 am on Nov. 7, 2008 Im finding some good deals on ebay. a set of lenses at 20 dollars while a local shop in Beirut is selling a 28 mm lens for a hundred bucks. virtuoso Posted at 9:42 am on Nov. 7, 2008 My teacher told me that old Russian lenses would be the best for some reason. Any speculation on that?

A wide angel lens would be a 28 mm?? That's right- 50 to 55 mm lenses for 35mm cameras were the "normal" view and 24-35 mm lenses were wide angle. 135mm and up would be the common telephoto lens. Personally I always wanted to get a good macro lens for my Pentax Spotmatic but couldn't afford one. reev Posted at 9:35 am on Nov. 7, 2008 yes, a wide angle lens would be 28mm. virtuoso Posted at 9:35 am on Nov. 7, 2008 Well Im using a 54 MM Lens with my minolta and Im looking into getting a wide angel lens to gain more landscape space with.
