Now you have your new Canon digital SLR camera (like the EOS 350D, EOS 400D, Canon Digital Rebel XSi ( EOS 450D), Canon EOS 40D or the professional full frame cameras like Canon EOS 5D, Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III) which camera lenses for canon digital cameras should you buy ? In general terms you have to ask yourself what am I going to photograph? , if I have to take pictures in low light condition interiors etc... or if I need fast lenses for sports or a big zoom for wildlife photography, when choosing your focal range you have to consider the fact that cameras like the Canon EOS 350D do not have a full frame sensor and the 1.6 cropped factor will affect your focal range in two ways the good side is that now (for example ) your 50mm lens will be transformed in 80mm zoom but at the same time your 24mm wide angle will be turn into a 39mmm lens (so you will need wider camera lenses which usually are more expensive) a
focal length calculator
can be found here. Other thing you have to consider is that some lenses which are suitable for APS-C are not recommended for full frame cameras, finally you have to check your budget, Canon lenses, specially Canon professional lenses (L) are usually expensive but there are also third part lenses some of them very good and sometimes cheaper A good example is the Tokina AT-X 124 AF PRO DX 12-24mm f/4 or the Tamron AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF].
