I once asked a handyman friend what kind of power/electric saw I should get. I wanted one that does it all.
My buddy Chuck laughed. Right off, I knew I wasn’t going to like his answer.
He lobbed it right back at me as a question. “What kind of work do you plan to do with the saw?”
When buying lenses and other photo gear, it’s no different. Some lenses are specialty lenses. Others are general purpose. The trouble is when you’re a beginner, you just don’t know any better.
And there’s always someone who’s willing to sell you something you don’t need.
