Which lens? (buying a gift for nephew)

newbie1

@snerkler probably stab is stabilization...

@12harry please do read about diffraction

@Bryn1 what sort of Astro do you have in mind? Landscapes with the stars and Milky Way don’t need any motor driven tripot, that might be needed for deep sky objects...but that’s pretty advanced.

Hope he enjoys the gift!

Who marked that post as best answer

For the benefit of anyone looking later it’s not the best answer

1080 jawbreaker

shooting landscapes with wide angle lenses means you end up with the same shots as everyone else, why not go for a telephoto lens, you can than get new compositions.
