Hi all,
I just bought a KM Maxxum 5d for my wife for XMas. It came with a kit lens, the 18-70mm AF-DT. She is a nature enthusiast and I want to get her a zoom tele for recording wildlife she encounters. Im thinking at least a ?-200mm. My budget, however, is limited. I have seen some lenses on ebay and otherwise online in the $100-200 range. The KM zoom cost as much as the camera. This is a hobby and that kind of investment is too much. I realize that clarity will be sacrificed, but these wont be published or reproduced photos.
Can I get an SLR lens and use it w/ her digital camera?
I have read on the web that there is a difference btwn the CCD size and the image size on an SLR.
What are the pros and cons?
Also, can you recommend a bargain lens?
Thanks for any help.
