You've asked for information about dSLR lenses and most inquiries are for Nikon and Canon.
For Nikon owners:
Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 SP XR ZL Di LD Aspherical (IF) with Built-In AF Motor for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
For Canon owners:
When I’m considering a new lens I consider the type of image I’ll be shooting, which lenses are popular and my budget. Why do I consider the popular lenses? They must be used by lots of folks who get excellent results and that narrows down my list.
Here’s a description of
lens types:
Kit Lenses – Entry level lenses
packaged with a camera. Purchasing the camera and lenses together may save you
money but you may sacrifice quality. However, depending on your budget and photo
interests this may be a good starting point.
You may prefer buying the
camera body and purchasing upgraded lenses separately. A good idea is to rent a
lens from a camera shop and try it.
Telephoto Lenses – These are
the most popular. They come in a range of configurations. With zooms you do not
need to get physically closer to your subject to frame your image.
Prime Lenses – A prime lens has
one focal length like the popular 50mm. To focus you physically move closer or
further away from your subject. These have great image quality and speed (fast
aperture).
Macro Lenses – Specifically
designed to shoot objects up close, they give you life sized images.
These are the basics. You
may also want to check out wide angle and fish eye lenses.
