How to Pick Your First Camera Lens

Today we’re going to talk about buying your first #lens. If you’re a #beginner, this can be an intimidating choice. You picked a DSLR or Mirrorless #camera and now you need to select the perfect first lens!

But there are so many lenses, how do you pick the right one?

I’m going to teach you some basic information about #lenses and then explain why I recommend the lenses that I do. I’ll give you practical examples and specific options from various manufacturers like Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic and Olympus.

I also created a lens buying guide which will go into more detail and will be constantly updated on my website.
