Hi everyone, you guys helped me so much a couple of months ago I hope you can this time too.
I'm a beginner at photography and have a Canon 450D. I have been using my 450D with the standard kit 18-55mm lens but really want something that will give me some zoom. Now being a beginner and a student I'm on a tight budget. I spotted this lens TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a tiny URL the Canon EF-S 55-250mm
I have used a number of compacts in the past and camcorders ranging from 3x - 18x optical zoom so i can judge them but the 55-250mm I'm not sure how much zoom that actually will give me. Wondered if anyone could tell me ideally by what sort of equivalent (roughly of course) it is in optical zoom. Also is this a good lens for a beginner who's after that extra reach on a budget or do you guys have any other recommendations?
Many Thanks,
Mark
