When building your basic lens system, that
is, lenses for use within the normal range
from 24mm to 300mm, set up a buying plan
in advance and identify your photographic
objectives. Here are several popular combi-
nations for various types of photography, all
of which are reasonably priced.
• Commemorative photos and snapshots
When your primary goal is to take candid
shots, you can't go wrong selecting a
35–70mm zoom as your standard lens.
With this single lens, you can take both
group and individual portraits. By adding a
135mm telephoto to the system, you'll be
prepared for situations that demand more
reach.

• Travel and scenery
The 35–105mm f/3.5–4.5 zoom is great for
travel because you can photograph a
mountain range one minute and zoom in on
a wildflower the next. Best of all, you're not
burdened with extra weight, because one
lens is all you need bring on your travels. A
28mm or 200mm lens extends your basic
lens system, and gives you extra flexibility.
