Lens Help

[Congo]

hi Linda some great advise here, I think the best advise has come from rick in regards to lens compatibility with full frame sensors, I am going down that exact route right now I also have the 600d and have just ordered a FF body most my lens are EF except for the recently bought 15-85 mm EFS lens, which is a great lens for landscape and general walk about, but I cant use it on my new camera so I will loose a couple of hundred dollars on that lens when I sell it. so if you think you'll be going down the FF path buy a EF lens now for your 600d. IMHO

A very useful post Blue.


Since Linda is a beginner, FOV = Field of view. Google is your friend.
Thanks for starting this thread, am now currently reassessing what wider angle lens to buy.

Cheers Mark, Thanks for pointing that out, to quick with the abbreviations sometimes.

Oh gosh, thank you all so much for all the information you have been willing to share. Sadly some has gone over my head and I will now have to read up so I can understand it all properly
Thank you Mark L - I was off to google FOV
Having said this though, I really do appreciate the help you have all given me.
Roosta thank you for the amount you were willing to share -I would love to post a couple of shots but I still have not figured out how to resize the photos, once I get my head around that I will then tackle the posting issue.

This is pretty easy to use, while you figure out other ways to do it. 'tis free ..... http://bd-sizer.en.softonic.com/
Drag and drop the photo you want resized into the white area on right. The three (badly drawn) arrows show the basics .......

I bought the Tokina 11-16 for my 60D, and now that I also have a 5D3 (full frame), it even works with the new camera when the zoom is set at 15mm or more, so the Tokina can be used on a FF camera too.

15mm is VERY wide on a FF camera.

Great lens too.
