Homework #3:

Chapter 2: Lens

I found this second chapter to be a little more useful than the first. Although, this was also somewhat a reminder of what I had already known. This chapter included a lot of information about lenses in detail. Reading through it, I wish I had this chapter with me back when I was picking out a second lens for my Canon 70D. I ended up getting the 28mm f/1.8 after a lot of researching. When I think about it more, I do not regret it, even a little, that I got this lens because it was just what I was looking for. It was wide angle and great for portraits, as well as had a large aperture. Since, at that time, I had little knowledge on lens, this chapter would have made life a lot easier as it provides you with the different kinds of lenses and their features rather than reading over 50 different articles online, trying to figure out the best fit for you. My conclusion for this chapter is that it reminded me that it is not only the camera body that makes the photograph, but also the lens. It is better to buy a camera body that is average and invest more on lenses to capture pictures throughout.
