Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need full-frame lenses for crop sensor cameras?

Full-frame lenses work on crop sensor cameras but will have a narrower field of view due to the crop factor. Crop-specific lenses are often smaller and less expensive but won't cover the full sensor if you later upgrade to a full-frame camera body.

How important is image stabilization if my camera has in-body stabilization?

In-lens and in-body stabilization can work together for improved results, but if you already have effective in-body stabilization, it may not justify the extra cost of stabilized lenses. Lens-based stabilization is often more effective for longer telephoto lenses.

What's the difference between third-party and manufacturer lenses?

Third-party lenses often offer similar optical quality at lower prices but may have slower or less reliable autofocus, different build quality, or compatibility issues with future camera updates. Manufacturer lenses typically guarantee full compatibility and support.

Should I buy new or used premium lenses?

Premium lenses hold their value well and quality used options can offer significant savings. Check for scratches on glass elements, smooth operation of zoom and focus rings, and proper autofocus function. Avoid lenses with fungus, oil on aperture blades, or damaged lens mounts.
