Focal Length of the Lenses

It would be inadvisable for a beginner, who is accustomed to using only the standard lens, to suddenly purchase an ultra-wide-angle or ultra-telephoto lens, for the enormous difference in angle of view would most likely more confuse - The key to success, in any field, is to advance a step at a time.

Those lenses considered to be ultra-wide-angle are the 17mm, 20mm, and 21mm, we can also include the 15mrn full frame Fish-eye(180o). Lenses representing ultra-telephoto are the 300mm, 400mm , 500mm, and 1000mm focal lengths.

Thus, the clever beginner  will select the 24mm, 28mm,  or 35rnm as his/her first wide-angle and the 85mm, 100mm, 135mm or 200mm as his/her first telephoto lens.
