So the lens should be a beginner lens? - I have no experience with this
lenses, but wouldn`t recommend any of them for beginners because of
their wide range.
The wide range is impressive, but offers a lot of possiblity to get
dissapointing results because of lacking experiences with long tele
use. Or on the other hand when slipping into wide angel 'distortion'
effects.
I`d recomend nothing more than 28-90mm, with as wide apperture as
possible. This focal leghts are most ease of use, and so most promising to
get good results for most joy and a good experience when the first films come
back. -By the way- What lenses are you currently using? -
Did you have a good /bad start into photograpy?
Don`t confuse with your further needs and your gf`s ones.
My beginner experience with a 4-5.6/60-300 zoom is like this:
Ah fine '135mm @ 1/250sec wide open' so I can zoom in to '200mm and 1/200 sec'
Hmm, a bit closer would be fine ... Yeah -Klack-
Ooops, shit again I went to 280mm @ 1/125sec ....
Nothing to blame the lens for I got a lot of nice shoots with this
lens, but 10 years later I'm converted to prime except for a 35-105.
Just my two ...
