I'm from ontario, 18, and have limited photo experience. I took a course last year, gave me a basic introduction into the use of cameras, but at that time i was unable to afford one. A couple of weeks ago, i bought an old Richoh KR-5 for around 50 dollars shipped off of ebay.
I am happy with the camera, have only taken one roll of film with it, but i am am now in the market for new lenses. The lens that was shipped with it is constantly zoomed in, and its anoying when im trying to get up close. I will also be spending a few weeks up in alonquin, and i want a lense that allows me to take scenery shots, as well as closeups of any animals that i encounter. So any sugestions to which type of lens i should go for? Or if you could tell me any names that i should be looking for would be greatly apreciated.
*edit*
Though i should include a price. As of right now, i am poor. Very poor. No job will do that to you, so i am only looking to spend at the maximum of 50 bucks per lense. What i was thinking of doing was buying a normal lense, that gives the exact same view as the human eye, without any zoom, as well as a telephoto lens, that i can use for macro and zooming in on objects. I was also planning on buying off ebay. As i said before, any help or sugestions would be great.
