Home Forums Gear Photography Who makes the best series of Lenses for D-SLR's?........................

Just in good fun of course but boy do I ever dissagree with that. It really depends on what segment of professional photographers you poll. If you look at sports shooters watch a game this weekend. When you see the press box all of those white lenses are Canon.

I don't completly dissagree with Lefty but a standard zoom should be capable of getting a very useable close range shot without the excessive barrel distortion. You can push almost any piece of glass to an extreme to exploit some weak point. The downside of a DSLR compared to a P&S is cost and physical size. The upside is you can change glass to suit your shooting style.
Here's a shot from a lowly Canon EFS 18-55 kit lens taken with an XTi. Used this little piece of plastic sells for a whopping $75. (Zero PP!)




And another from a Canon S80 P&S. IIR zero PP.
