I have the Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera but I have no lens for it. What is a good standard lens where I prefer to automatically focus... I just need one for casual pictures. Nothing fancy,


Answer
Canon EF 28-135 lens probably would work just fine for you.

What lens would I use to take portrait style pictures with my Canon Digital Rebel XT?

I am going to be buying a Canon Digital Rebel XT and I have no idea on which lens does what. I need a lens that will take sharp portrait style pictures (and full body shots) indoors, nothing would be more then say 5-10 feet away. If I could get the name of the lens or something I could look it up by. Thanks a ton =)


Answer
Generally speaking it is a common conception that lenses in the 85 to 135 mm range are portrait lenses. Although at 85mm at 5-10 feet away you arent going to get a full body shot of anyone other than a toddler. The kit lens that comes with the XT, although not the sharpest lens out there, is actually a good starting point. 18mm is pretty good for a full body and 55mm is pretty good for a head and shoulders shot. You may want to get a better lens later but you are going to want to get used to your camera first.

Additional:

If you want Canons best lenses you will want an L series lens.

Most L series lenses will put the L after the f/# i.e. f/4L or f/2.8L
