Which lens should I buy for my camera?Its such a simple question; but choosing the right lens or lenses is actually one of the most important photographic decisions you can make. Nothing affects the quality of a photo more than the lens. Its no longer just about the megapixels-its the glass that makes all the difference!Many first-time buyers of DSLRs dont venture past the basic lens included in the box. While some are reluctant to spend more money; others are confused by all the buzzwords or are overwhelmed by all the choices out there. Its really a shame; because interchangeable lenses give you amazing scope for quality photography.Take in vast sweeping scenes with a wide angle lens. Capture faraway birds with a telephoto lens. Examine the tiniest detail of a flower with a macro lens. Record the perfect portrait with a prime lens. Anything is possible when you choose the right lens for the job!This book isnt a simple catalogue of available lenses. New products are coming out all the time; and comparing specific lenses can be difficult. Instead; author N.K. Guy gives you all the information you need to make smart buying decisions. Optical technology is demystified; arcane terminology is decoded; and practical tips are provided.The Lens will help you build the perfect lens collection to suit your needs-now and in the future.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Really good read and very informativeBy Justin WoulardExcellent book; a really nice companion piece to Razzle Dazzle: The Battle for Broadway that I finished last week. Whereas the earlier book made me want to read more about theatre history. The Secret Life.. made me want to listen to and/or go see some shows that I have missed. There were a few places where I felt that the conceit fell apart a little bit (the book is structured like the musical structure it is teaching); but overall it works. This is a textbook; and at times it reads like one; but overall a fun read and very informative. I really loved the recommend cast albums section at the end.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An excellent guide to how musicals are madeBy Ellis H. Pinesand insights on how all entertainment works. Although the American musical theater tends to lack the heritage of throwing tomatoes; there is always the threat of rustling programs and distracted coughs. This book shows how structure and inventiveness work together to keep that from happening as they move audiences and bring them to their feet. It is an enjoyable magical book by a practitioner who knows how to teach.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Have fun; learn a lot!By Writer/ReaderViertals love of the musical theater comes across loud and clear. A more in-depth analysis of the actual music would have been helpful because he is after all; discussing musicals. I appreciated the sections on Frank Loesser; a major lyricist/composer (Guys and Dolls; Most Happy Fella and more) who should never be forgotten.
