Most dSLRS operate with {nearly} the same sensor, unless we’re talking the jump from crop frame to full frame sensor. Camera upgrades are merely bells & whistles. The lens… Pin It Hi, I’m Elizabeth and I’m addicted to glass. In the past 2 1/2 years, I’ve owned 10 lenses to the tune of $6500. 80% of the questions I get in my inbox and see on forums is about what lens to buy.

I hope you have found the previous posts about barrel and pincushion distortion helpful. Chromatic Aberrations, what nice big words they are?

It haunts our images by appearing on our…  After posting the longest post ever to explain all the numbers and letters in lens names, I got loads of questions asking about those other little numbers on the end of your lens.
