@Dam262a Do you know how much spam junk I get from people in comments? Its really REALLY obnoxious and exetremly annoying. I'm not going to settle for some low life who enjoys trashing on others.
@Dam262a I have a good enough memory capacity to remember that I've had losers like you comment and that you people are called trolls. Make a note to yourself to go trash on yourself instead of others.
and that light is the auto focus assist light, which is autofocus in dark conditions. also in dark conditions turn the lens hood around for 2 reasons because if ur useing flash you will get shadow on ur picture from the hood adn also in loo loight u want the most light as possible and no shadows from ur light source
man the lower focal ranges are for wider angle not for less zoom u would nee the extra reach if u wanted to do creative photography and u need wide ange. but a 28 mm is actualy 42mm and 18mm is actualy 32mm on digital because the censor is aps sized which is 3/4 of a full frame camera. so all in all the extra mm do matter alot. one last thing. how long have u been doing dslr photography because u dont no anything about focal lenghts.
