digital cameras I have the nikon70 but would like to go digital. I hear that if I buy the nikon d70 I can use my old lenses with some adjustment.-is it confusing to do that? i would much prefer to buy the canon d20 and start over with new lenses. can someone explain the difference between the L lenses and other lenses that ive been hearing about. I will only buy canon lenses. thanks !

Hi: The information I can provide is that Canon develops two types of lenses. The regular ones are intended for amateurs or hobbyist. These lenses are less expensive and built with less expensive materials. Generally they have smaller apertures (regularly start at f/3.5 or 4) than the “L” lenses. Some come with Canon great tech like USM (Ultra Sonic Motor) for silent and fast focusing and/or the IS Image Stabilizer system and their price can go up when you find these features. Some of them are very good others are not that good. On the other hand you will find the L lenses (or PRO lenses) that are recognize for their red ring. They are fast with apertures generally starting at 2.8 for zooms and wide angles or bigger for standard or telephoto prime lenses. The optics are superb with high-refraction elements and elements and are resistant to dust and moisture. Some of them comes the IS tech including IS for panning. They can be very expensive but you can also find great deals. Some come in black color but the big majority are white (I once hear the white is good for outdoors because they don’t get that hot with the sun) Currently I own one. The EF200mm 2.8 L USM and I try to take most of my picture with it cause the resolution, colors is just to good…
