Most animals is seeing in b&w.

true, but colours which contrast highly are easily spotted!


@Chantal - you can find out if your lens if zoom or prime by the hyphen '-' in between two mm digits on your lens. For example the kit lens 18-55mm is a zoom lens but a lens such as a 50mm f/1.8 is a prime.

Here is a very informative article about prime and zoom lenses and their pros and cons.

Personally I think zoom lenses are best for landscape and walking around while primes are probably good for portraits and action photos.

yes i can agree with you there.

thanx for the useful link mate

you are welcome. I am actually thinking about getting two lenses before the summer at least I hope I will be able to afford lol.
I want to get a Sigma 10-20 wide zoom lens and Ef 50mm f/1.4 prime lens which I also could use on my eos film camera .

wicked. if im honest im not at all a fan of wide angle, i much perfer normal-tele

but that nifty fifty should be really good for ur low light shots!

What! You crazy person! Wide angle lenses are the best.

yeah and especially for portrait shots without using flash.



I guess he is more interested in action and wildlife shots
I've heard that wide angle lenses are usually only good for landscape.
