Tips to understand and mix and match between the digital SLR camera with a lens as needed.
If you are a beginner in the world of photography you may want to soon have a new lens than the kit lens you already have. Before you buy a lens, you make sure the field of photography to be your field, whether traveling or photography landscape photography, architecture, macro photography, photography for weddings or journalism photography. If you already understand how mixing and matching between the lens and digital SLR camera, then you do not need to carry a camera, and lens equipment as a photographer in this photo.
Lenses can be categorized into several classes based on specific categories, which include:
Focal length
The shorter the focus of an increasingly wide-view lens obtained, or also called wide angle lens / wide angle lens. The focal lengths of the lens while the narrower point of view but the higher magnification of the recorded object, or often referred to as the zoom lens. Judging from the focal length and usefulness, we can categorize the lens into several classes, among others:
Wide and ultra wide angle lens
This lens has a focal 35 mm or shorter. The wider the angle of view lens more the objects recorded, this type of lens is perfect for photographing landscapes (landscape), buildings, activities that involve a lot of people like the traditional ceremonies, dances, or a large family photo. In addition to the wide angle lens is very useful when you are close to the object that you want to photograph. These lenses also provide 3-dimensional effect on the resulting image.
Standard lens.
Has focused 50 or 55 mm, this lens is usually the lens is also an innate / kit lens when we buy a new camera. This type of lens is suitable for day-to-day needs in the photograph.
Telephoto lenses.
Focal length lens (focal length) lens ranges from 85-200 mm. Long enough for you to take pictures of objects that are not too close to you, for example, a candid photograph of children who were playing without disturbing their game, or focus on a candid photograph dancer dancers among others.
Super Telephoto lens.
With a focal length of 300-800 mm, extreme lens is suitable for taking pictures of wildlife such as birds were in the nest, or maybe even photographing wild animals even without having to reposition ourselves in danger with him. This type of lens is also frequently used in the world of sports. High cost and the long form and weight makes this lens is usually only used by serious photography enthusiasts.
Fixed Lens and Zoom Lens.

Fix focus lens has a fixed value, or more simply the lenses cannot be used to zoom the object, meaning that you have to run toward or away to zoom in / out objects. The advantage of this lens is smaller than the zoom lens, as well as the results obtained sharper. Fix lens also has a wide opening so as to produce the effect of blur / bokeh better. Zoom lens has a focal range of purposes, such as focusing lenses 18-135 mm. Excess is the flexibility of zoom lens, the one we can get focus lens for wide angle and zoom lenses as well. The disadvantage is the large size and sharpness quality of the results obtained are still below the fixed lens.
Fix & Variable Aperture
Some lenses are also made with a fixed aperture, with aperture diaphragm that cannot be changed. Lenses like this are usually worth relatively expensive compared to lenses with variable aperture (aperture change focal length follow-fox)
Fast Lens.

Important note before buying lenses:
So how do we choose the lens? The first of course to ask yourself what you need. Is it only for the purposes of taking a trip with a holiday or special interest such as photographing landscapes (you need a wide angle lens or zoom lens), or the wild life (requires a telephoto or super-telephoto lens).
Some other tips and solutions that you can consider before buying lenses include:
1. Faster lens is better than a slower lens. Choose a lens with f values as small as possible.
2. Lens with a fixed aperture (f value is fixed) is better, although these lenses are usually high-priced.

4. Consider also the quality of the lens material if you have more funds. Some upscale lenses are made with good materials and even resistant to weather changes.
5. Before buying a lens, make sure you choose the lenses fit your budget and needs. If your budget is not enough to buy the original lens (OEM) in accordance with your camera, then you can buy a used lens or third party lenses manufactured by Sigma, Tamron, Tokina or Samyang. Now Tamron, Rokinon or Sigma lenses have been produced specifically lenses for Canon, Sony or Nikon with good quality. Tokina and Samyang also have been producing high quality for the special and specific needs. If the Sigma and Tamron has produced almost all types of lenses, the Samyang and Tokina make lenses more unique that may not have been made by Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony or other lens factory like Rokinon, Carl Zeiz, Leica, Olympus, and Panasonic or by Sigma and Tamron.
If you are serious about photography, then you will find many kinds of lenses such as fish-eye lens, lens baby and forth like a lens to the needs of the police investigation at the crime scene, the lens for photos of stars, and the lens to support the military, scientific and lenses to science knowledge.

Canon EOS D100 seemed to have gone through the process of miniaturization and optimization of products making it named the EOS DSLR camera with the smallest and lightest-in-class design (EOS 100D has the lightest body of all the APS-C DSLR cameras with interchangeable lenses (lens shift). Though the size of this camera is quite small, but the Canon 100D is quite reliable with full ability and in accordance with the expectations of the users of DSLR cameras.
Creative features
The camera is reinforced with 18 Megapixel APS-C CMOS Hybrid AF II combined with the DIGIC 5 processor. Canon EOS D100 is also capable of recording full-HD video with a frame rate of 30fps, 25fps, or 24fps. Although small, the Canon EOS 100D even features an in-camera editing and cropping function that allows us to modify and polish images but it also includes the following scene modes: Food, Candlelight, Night Portrait, Kids, Handheld Night Scene and HDR Backlight Control.

The features that you need to look, and certainly very interesting for you to use is implementation of the Extra Effect feature shot (in Creative Auto (CA) mode). With this feature you will be taking two images simultaneously when users capture images using filter and without filter. Extra Shot function for backing up and used as a template to apply filters capture images at a later time.
Maybe you also will try Miniature effect movie. With this feature the user can set up fast-forward with the speed of 5x, 10x and 20x faster to give the appearance of a miniature model of a fast-moving, but in this mode the sound is not recorded.
With these features especially the size of the camera is different with Digital SLR cameras in general, then you should not hesitate to buy a Digital SLR camera. Canon EOS D100 can accompany you on holiday to Bali, Raja Ampat, Africa or to anywhere. If you want to take photos with distant subjects, you can add a superzoom lens for example lens with a range of 18mm - 200mm. You do not need to buy a genuine Canon lens, because you can get sharp images of third-party lenses such as Tamron or Sigma lens.

Simple tips for choosing lenses for DSLR cameras
 |
| Lens for Canon DSLR cameras. Image: oneslidephotography.com |
If you'd like to understand more about different types of lenses and how they're described, so you can choose the best Canon lenses, best Micro Four Thirds lenses or best Nikon lenses.
It’s important to remember most camera companies employ their own unique lens mountings, which means one company's lenses generally won't work on another company's cameras. You can start from the basic. It’s a good idea if you buy a standard prime lens. A prime lens is a lens that has a fixed focal length. A 50 millimeter prime lens is the perfect starter lens. I know that you already have lens kit 18 – 50 mm lens when you bought your first DSLR camera.

There are two fundamentals that we should understand before you buy new lenses: Firstly, focal length and sensor size.
Every lens is defined in millimeters, and this measure is called its focal length. This measurement is the distance between the sensor and the optical centre of the lens when the lens is focused on infinity. It's important to know the difference between zoom lenses and prime lenses. The zoom lens is allowing you to magnify your subject.
A prime lens can't zoom such as a 50mm lens which is good to create portrait. You need a zoom lens to capture sport activities, holiday or when you go to the zoo to capture the dangerous animal such as lion or gorilla.
A good zoom lens is a 50- to 250-millimeter zoom, however you can choose an 18 – 200-millimeter zoom that made by Canon, Nikon or other third party manufacturers.
Please remember if you're buying a Canon lens for a Canon camera, that's a pretty good indicator that you're on the right track. However, if you're buying a third-party lens, you'll want to be sure the lens is intended for your brand of camera. There are good third party lenses that made by Tamron, Sigma, Samyang or Tokina. They made special lenses for Canon and Nikon, so please make sure that you choose the right type lens before you decide to purchase a third party lens. A good zoom lens is a 50- to 250-millimeter zoom. You can use a zoom lens to take photos in a wide shot to a close-up, however the best portrait is always fantastic if you capture with a 50mm lens, a prime lens.

Before you go to camera store don’t forget to consider is the image sensor in your camera. There are basically two different sensor sizes; “Full frame” sensors, which are the same size as one frame of 35mm film, like those in traditional film SLRs; these are generally in higher-end cameras. Another one is the smaller image sensors, like those found in most digital SLR cameras such as Nikon D5300 or Canon EOS D700. The full frame cameras such as: Nikon D800E and Canon EOS 5D Mark III or Sony Alpha 99 (SLT-A99V).
If you are serious about choosing lenses, you may need to have atelephoto lens forportrait photos to make the resultsmore like an amazing85 millimeters, totake portraits orto get closershots of distantobjects without movingthe camera. This lens is also good to use when you want to photograph beautiful birds in the trees, orsteal a photo when you see a beautiful girl in the distance, then youcan make close tothe face of the girl with a telephoto lens without being noticed by the girl.
