I am new to photography and I am trying to lean a lot about it and my camera (40D.) So my next step is to start understanding the lens. I always see you guys talking about lenses and you throw out all these numbers.

Well I have no idea what those numbers mean. So can some one give a link to a site that will teach me everything I need to know and a lens? Thanks in advance.

The best site, IMHO:

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

In my experience the best place to learn about lenses is actually here, on this forum.

More specifically, start by looking trough sticky threads in EF and EF-S lenses forum, they have most of the jargon explained there.


Canon 60D + Canon 40mm F2.8 + Canon 85mm F1.8 + Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 OS HSM + Sigma 70-300 F4-5.6

Buy Understanding Exposure. The thing you need to learn about first is the camera.
