Hi I am confused about all the different lens choices. I am about to order a canon t3i I have the choice of buying these two lenses:
18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6
55-250 mm f/4.0-5.6
*edit: I was going to get these two lenses, not one or the other. My husband read a ton and out of our options it seemed this would be the best deal....
can someone please tell me in what situations I would use these lenses for? I know that I am going to buy the 50 mm 1.8 so that I can take portrait shots of my kids, but I am confused. If the lens goes 18-135 why do I need the 50? Can't I just set it on 50 and it be the same thing? I am the type of person who needs things in hand to understand, so please excuse my ignorance.
Is there some sort of chart that tells me what mm to use for what situations? Or a book I can get?
18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6
55-250 mm f/4.0-5.6
