I use a 100mm globe. The lens needs to be able to close-focus, if you want a reasonable sized globe in the final print. I have used a 24~ 70 zoom also an 18~35 zoom.


thanks

I use my 70-300 Tamron and it does a beautiful job. I would recommend the 80mm ball which is 3/1/4 in diameter. Have fun with it.


Sweet! Thats what I have! Maybe my 70-200 Canon will work!

The FF (or FF equivalent) should be 2X or 3X the diameter of the ball.

Example: A 50mm ball and a Rebel or M body calls for a 70 or 100mm marked FL.


So for an 80mm lensball I would need at least a 100mm macro lens? Or would I need over that?

What is the difference between the Canon 24mm 35mm and 100mm macro lenses? I want to take close ups of butterflies and other insects and flowers. This will be my first experience with a macro lens. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!

I think you did exactly the right thing, with exactly the right camera. She will be able to learn everything she wants to know about taking pictures, without lugging around a bunch of expensive (and heavy) glassware, and having to change them all the time. After exploring the capabilities of the SX40, she will know when she needs to graduate to a DSLR.

Great move!


Thanks!

Sounds like an opportunity to me. Recently, I wanted to upgrade to a better camera. The problem was I had a perfectly good Canon SL1. Solution - give my grand daughter my camera and the kit lens that came with it ( she's been using her mom's ) She is excited and wants to go on photo hikes with me! Hmmmm what do I do for a camera? I know! :)


I know! I am tempted to give her my t5i but I love that camera too!

I'd get her a DSLR like a Nikon 3500 or the Canon equivalent. If she could handle your camera, then she'll be fine. Having grands myself, She might be sensitive about having a camera that wasn't similar to yours. You are a great Grandpa!


Just not sure about having to carry and change lens. She is capable! Thanks

this discussion is very relevant. My10 year old granddaughter expressed an interest in creating photos. She and her siblings and cousins have grown up with a camera as I never lose an opportunity to photograph these precious treasures.
For a 10 year old, a bridge camera is the correct purchase. I guarantee that most 10 year olds would not acclimate to interchangeable lens set up. ‘Now where did I leave that lens.....?’ Focal lengths and f/stops are confusing enough on a bridge set up. I purchased a new Nikon bridge camera. It’s light, easy to use as a p&s until she understands better the opportunities resident in that camera. “Grandpa” does not indicate Metusaleh. The term is to be used by grandchildren addressing their grandparents. It is not a moniker for you out there to label him. I have no illusions with respect to the camera gift. She has an obligation to use it as she asked and knew that this gift, although given as a Covid 19 salve, is more expensive than the norm. It is also a wonderful opportunity - for me, for her, the artistic community (don’t sell anything short!)!,

I love my 3 canons, xsi, t3i, 77d. if I was looking at them I would get one without the articulating back so you can view from all angles. I think the t3i is the first model that did that. lot of new older model canons are very reasonable now. I've never bought used but the hogs can advise you more.
interchangeable lens are great way to go. i have a 24 & 40 Canon and they are so light weight you might consider one with the kit 55 250 and she has a light weight option. shes ten now so big lens might be too heavy but with the kits they don't add much cost so get it anyway. I got my 24 mm for 100.
