I've had my Nikon D3000 for about 6 months now but one of the luxuries I have at uni is that we have a 'store' whereby a technician loans out equipment for free and I normally just say 'I want a Canon 10D with a zoom lens or a wide angle lens'</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This situation has got me confused with the whole 'numbers' aspect of lenses, if you get what i mean? I wa snever taught it and i've never known where to start trying to find out what means what.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want a wide angle lens for my Nikon but I'm now in a rutt where i don't understand how the number relate to the lenses.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For example, i call a 50mm lens a standard lens. So what am i looking for in a wide angle lens? So confused and embarrassed <img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/blueface.gif" border="0" alt="" title="sad" smilieid="108" class="inlineimg" /></p>
