I've jumped ship. I just sold my Sony VX2100, so that I can afford to buy the Rebel t2i. This was a rather scary move for me, but logic is telling me it was a common-sense decision.
Anyway, I'm completely new to DSLR. First issue I'd like to figure out -- lenses. I totally don't understand them. The camera I'm purchasing comes bundled with an 18-55mm lens. The shoot I have planned, I know for sure that I'm going to need a good wide-angle. As I understand it, 28mm is wide. 20mm is ultra-wide.
But the regular old lens that comes bundled is 18-55? Wouldn't that give it a range wider than ultra-wide? Of course, I'm missing something; there's something I don't get. Could someone please explain to me what I it is I've missed in this equation?
Also, at the time being, I only plan to purchase a good wide lens, and some decent filters. But maybe there's something I haven't thought of. Is there any essential element that a miniDV convert like myself wouldn't have thought of? For the shoot I have planned, I have no need whatsoever for any macro.
