<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jesh, post: 778910, member: 16382&quot;]Sorry, was typing on my phone and it&#039;s really late here. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A prime lens in short means the lens isn&#039;t a zoom lens. A 50mm lens is just that, 50mm, no more and no less (well, it&#039;s more if you are using a non full frame camera, but that is a different story).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And yes, any lens that is a &#039;zoom&#039; lens is a non-prime lens. Prime lenses have the best quality, although now-a-days zoom lens&#039; sharpness is pretty damn close. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for the advertisement it&#039;s a 18-55mm lens, and the f stop is 3.5 at 18mm and 5.6 at 55mm. I&#039;m not familiar with Nikon so someone else would have to tell you the exacts on Nikon&#039;s letter schemes. Not sure how they label their lenses (e.g. dont know what ED is on their lens).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are two great sites for canon photography: <a href="http://photography-on-the.net/forum/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://photography-on-the.net/forum/" rel="nofollow">http://photography-on-the.net/forum/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.the-digital-picture.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.the-digital-picture.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.the-digital-picture.com/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know you mentioned Nikon, but it&#039;s still worth the reading on the first link.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
