What slr sony camera lens is the best for both long distance and macro?
I'm just starting out in photography and i've got a sony A55 and its my birthday soon and as a present im getting a new lens for my slr. But i dont know what lens to get. I want a macro one and i would also like a zoom one aswell. I just wondered if there is a lens that does both well? but not at too high a price up to bout £300.
Thanks.
Macro lenses are prime lenses from 60 mm to about 105 mm, certainly NOT a telephoto lens
Telephoto lenses (for shooting long distant subjects require a 300 mm or longer lens)
NONE of these lenses cost less than about £500 if you can find one. You will also need an adapter so it can be used on your A55

As you can see, £300 cannot buy much when you look for lenses made for your fine A55
Here is a site that lists Sony lenses, but I don't see any Sony "E" lenses listed
