All-Around, Practical Lenses
STANDARD ZOOM LENSES
Very likely, your first EF lens will be (or was) one of these lenses. After all, they feature the most popular focal lengths. From wide-angle to telephoto, you get the best of both worlds. The ten lenses in this category give you a choice of zoom ranges and maximum apertures. The smaller the maximum aperture, the smaller and lighter the lens. Take a look at them all and get the one suiting your needs and budget.
