Someone who just started the hobby of photography by purchasing a camera with a lens kit, generally will have the same question when I want to add a collection or add to the range of photography who want to arrest. Whether it's the reason for the complete range of coverage, add a collection of lenses, the desire to focus to a photography interest is more specific, the field of macro photography for example, and so forth. Surely the same questions that will arise when trying to make considerations in buying new lenses, namely: "what lens should I buy next?"
And to answer questions like that, that should be known by the photographer is trying to sort out between needs and wants. There are no wrong choices in this option. More needs-oriented, that are willing to buy the lens is a lens that needed to be able to capture moments that want to be photographed.
For example, after using a lens with 18-55mm range, and then find a new interest in doing landscape photography because it was owned by the lens can not capture the "wide" is desired, then this factor that encourages photographers to buy a wide lens, 10-22mm, 10-20mm, 11-18mm, and so on.
Also, after using the class 18-55mm lens that generally have the build quality, contrast and color are still at the level of "enough" to produce a better picture, sometimes a photographer also has a tendency to have a better lens in terms of speed performance focus, optical quality, contrast and so forth. For example, the desire to buy 17-40mm lens for Canon L or 17-55mm for Nikon, which is based more on a desire to have a better lens than the previous. This choice was not wrong.
Of the 2 choices, there is no right or wrong choice. Generally what happens is a better option that can be taken when making decisions to buy new lenses. Could be a need for a lens with a wider range is a good decision at the time wanted to get a wider perspective sudat in taking pictures, but is less precise decision if you want to concentrate more to take pictures more quickly in conditions of poor lighting.
To get the right answers to get a better consideration in buying a lens. Best answer will come from the photographers themselves, who have more knowledge of the condition and problems more often faced. So the photographer should have answers to these questions as above, "what lens should I buy next?".
To start the considerations in buying lenses. It's good any photographer who are interested to invest in this lens, set the following questions:
What lens do you have today?What is your interest in photography today?What are the limitations that you often encounter when taking the picture?Are limitations include limitations to be photographed with a distance closer?
Is it in the form of limitations can not get better exposure? the focus is less accurate, less focus fast, low contrast and so forth.To be honest choice of a novice photographer would not so difficult because generally every beginner will start his photography hobby by using such a kit lens 18-70mm, 18-55mm, 17-85mm, 18-135mm or 24-105mm. So the next lens worth considering, if you want to add a range of coverage that can be photographed is based on the limitations experienced while using these lenses and should not be a high overlapping with the previous range of lenses. For example, after having lens 18-70mm lens with the ability to get a longer telephoto lens, the 18-135 is not the answer that fits. Of course, 70-300mm lens could be a more appropriate choice.
So in practice, generally the choice of investing is to buy a lens lenses that possess a long range coverage can not be pursued while shooting (either wider or more telephoto), or a lens with a better capability in its ability in areas that have pencahaayaan less (or have a large aperture value). but this time the discussion will be more focused on the need or desire to increase the coverage range of the lens. In fact, if necessary, seek the lens with the ability to shoot the closer to obtain a high magnification using a micro or macro lens.
Tele Lens
Add a telephoto lens into your lens collection, such as 55-200mm or 70-300mm, probably is a logical choice to increase the range of lenses which originally from a kit lens. By using a more telephoto lens, will get more magnification for the object image with the same distance than the normal zoom lens or your kit lens for example.
Or there are times where photographers can not shoot closer to the object due to limitations in the photo shoot for example fencing, river or natural object in the photo is very dangerous if approached. photographing lions in the safari park for example.
Wide Lens
But if the experience is difficult to incorporate all elements into a frame while the space for the more backward in taking the picture is not there anymore, then the lens is needed is a wider lens. Lenses with the range 10-20mm, 10-22mm, 11-28mm or 12-24mm is the choice sufficiently precise to answer this need, unless you use the camera with the ability of full frame 35mm camera, then the range up to 12mm focal length is already a very width for your camera.
Using a very wide lens is a very attractive option because it can capture a wider area (vista), playing with distortion effects, but would be better if displayed with a good composition by including a foreground element to obtain "depth effect" is good in a photo . Use a wider lens is more likely to give the impression of "story telling" in a photograph because matching elements from the foreground, middleground to background into a whole story in a photograph.
More Close
If you want to take photos of objects closer to the level of detail is high, there are several options that can be used to make the focal distance from the camera to photograph the object becomes closer. Example: use belows, extension tubes, diopters, reversed lens, but the best and easiest option is to use the lens micro / macro.
Choice of lens focal length for macros also varied, ranging from normal lens 50mm, 55mm, 60mm, 85mm telephoto images like, 90mm, 100mm or 105mm and 150mm telephoto, 180mm and 200mm, generally would provide approximately the same magnification at closest focus distance .
So the selection of lens focal length for macros will be based on the desired working distance. If the object image is a photograph of the product, it will choose a lens with a shorter range (50mm, 55mm or 60mm). But if to shoot photographs of objects that require longer distances to avoid disturbing objects such as images of butterflies, insects, and so will be easier when using a telephoto lens with more range, for example 180mm. But that does not mean photographing insects can not use 60mm lenses, but effortnya will be greater because the photographer will need patience and camouflage are good enough to get the macro insect photos.
In addition there is the effect of control perspective on macro lens such as 85mm PC that can be used to produce perspective effects or even create a perspective effect to be reduced when taking the picture. But the existence of this effect, also will make the lens becomes more expensive.
Lenses With Special Effects
There is also an option to obtain special effects such as the curved areas of the image as seen by the eyes of fish causing the impression of unusual or "out of the world". However, for lenses with special effects such as these, tend to be expensive and must be careful in its use because of the distortion effects are very great. Even if it is not wise to use it, could damage the image to generate.Lens options with this effect or it is called fish-eye lens, is also available in 3rd party products at a more friendly, available in a fixed focal length in general (8mm, 10.5 mm, 15mm, 16mm and so on). But now also available as a zoom such as those made by Pentax or even fish-eye lens Tokina 10-17mm or 17-28mm.
