040 - 7 questions you have about buying lenses


Listen Later

When we begin contemplating adding to our arsenal of camera gear, one of the of the trickier areas to navigate are lenses. You have to understand elements and groups; lens mounts and formats; new vs. used and so much more.

Let's talk about all the decision points in buying a lens and break them up into the seven questions I'm asked most often.

  1. Should I invest more in the lens or camera?
  2. Which lens should I buy next?
  3. What are the key features you should look for when evaluating a lens?
  4. Should I only buy lenses from the same manufacturer as my camera?
  5. Should I buy a used lens?
  6. What should I look for when I am buying a used lens?
  7. Why are lenses so flipping expensive?!
  8. Somewhere in this list, I hope I have the questions and answers that you might have about lenses.
