Which lenses do you recommend for my Cannon AE-1 program camera should I buy?
I recently purchased this camera. It comes with three lenses. FD 50 mm 1:1.8, 2x teleconverter FD and a 200 mm Macro zoom lenses. Which other lenses would you recommend I purchase? I really know nothing about the camera or lenses. I bought them for a gift for my friend. I want to be sure I have the lenses he will need for all types of picture taking. HELP please!
Personally, I’d want a zoom lens for convenience. You can get something like the 35-70mm for under $30: http://www.keh.com/OnLineStore/ProductDetail.aspx?groupsku=CA070090188650&brandcategoryname=35MM&Mode=searchproducts&item=0&ActivateTOC2=false&ID=&BC=&BCC=&CC=&CCC=&BCL=&GBC=&GCC=&KW=fd%2035-70mm
The AE1 is a good camera but it’s also fairly old. Make sure that you get Canon FD lenses – not Canon EF lenses (which only work on newer Canon models and digital SLR bodies).
