The 6 Steps
I use the 6 steps that I'm about to introduce you to every time I go out looking for a new lens.
Each step is designed to reduce the number of lenses you have to compare by half, which is why it's good to follow the steps in order.
By the time you get to the last step, you should only have to compare 2 or 3 lenses rather than 30.
So here we go - 6 steps to help you find the best digital SLR lens:
1. Determine the focal length you'll need
2. Decide if you want a prime or zoom lens
3. Select a maximum aperture
4. Choose between first or third party lenses
5. Evaluate any extra features
6. Read reviews and narrow your options
