aravind raman Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hi all, I'm new to photography, I'm going to buy a new camera, Canon EOS Rebel Ti and the provider here in india is also giving me a choice of Tamron 70-300mm F/4-5.6 LD 1:2 Auto Focus Macro Zoom Lens with the original Canon 28-90 Lens. My question is whats the difference between an ordinary zoom lens like canon 28-90 with that of the Tamaron one, Macro Zoom???? Thanks in advance,Aravindhan T S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbq Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 The "macro" zoom will let you achieve a higher magnification. Those are typically no substitute for real macro lenses, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakim_peled1 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 <p> If I were you, I'd ask to get the <a href="http://www.geocities.com/samirkharusi/mighty_50.html">50/1.8</a> instead. Kit lenses like the 28-90 are not known for optical excellence. The 50/1.8 certainly is.</p> <p> Have a look at this very informative <a href="http://photonotes.org/articles/beginner-faq/">link</a>. </p> <p>Happy shooting,<br> Yakim.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
