Hi,

I am a beginner. How do I know when to change my lens. I have a CanonT2i and a 58mm lens 18 to 200mm lens and a wide angle lens.

Thanks. Gerri.

each lens will produce different looks and have pluses and minuses to them. If you want an expansive view for say a landscape go to your wide angle. You want to focus in on something distant you go to your zoom. your 50 mm lens is what is called a normal lens because it mimics the range of the human eye. May I suggest going to your local bookstore or library and looking for any beginning book of photography. It will go in much more detail than I can about lenses. good luck

i have found that the Digital photography books vol 1 2 &3 by Scott Kelby to be the most informative and easy to read and understand that i have come across,can be bought at Costco for under $50 for all three
