Hi,
I am new to photography other than of the point and shoot variety. The company I work for is currently looking at purchasing a higher end camera than what we currently have. After some research we are looking towards purchasing the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT camera but now we are stuck on the lens selection. We will primarily be shooting large, stationary objects with the camera (some of the objects are upwards of 50ft in length), I am assuming I will need a wide angle lens to accomplish what we are trying to do. Currently to take pictures of the equipment we have to stand quite a ways back to get the entire piece of equipment into the shot and that is what we are trying to eliminate. We would like to get closer to the equipment so that our pictures show the detail and quality of the equipment.
Any help in lens selection would be greatly appreciated.
