  • hi all,

    Can't believe I've only just found this thread!

    I've been messing around with a couple of film cameras trying to self educate myself in the art of photography. I started using an olympus MJU 115, and moved on to a Pentax Asahi to try and get the feel for a fully manual camera, really enjoying learning about apertures and shutter speeds and when to use which variations.

    I've also recently been given a canon EOS 300 body and so need to get some lenses for it however I'm clueless as to what lens fits what body so any advice as to what lenses I should be looking as well as recommendations for good places to find them is much appreciated.

  • Hi,
    ..what Well_is_it said, look for "EF" lenses (not EF-S, they are only for crop-sensor digital cameras).
    After that it really depends on what (focal length) you want, and what you're willing to spend.
    I'm also a big fan of the 40mm EF STM, you can get this for about £80 on eBay, it's fantastic.
    The 50mm's are all good value for money as well, find used ones or just get the new STM.

    If you don't want / need auto-focus there's a lot great lenses for your Pentax that can be had for really cheap as well..
