Hey guys.
As im upgrading to a DSLR soon I need to get upto speed with everything to do with SLR photography.
When a lense says eg. 18-55mm on it. Does the 18 part mean that thats how far from the sensor the lense starts, and the 55mm part means that the lense is 55mm long ?
It may seem like a dumb question but since im about to buy a DSLR I need to be equiped with the right knowlege and be able to make a more informed purchase.
Any other useful info about lenses would also help a great deal..
Thanks everyone.. :thumbup:
