    Re: Looking for Experiance Photographer

    Alright, well I'll just post some of my questions here then.

    This is the camera I have.
    http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...52921665887570

    Now, a few questions I have about the Camera itself. I know what aperture and shutter-speeds all mean and how they work, but I had previously assumed that aperture range was the same as the f-number, and that's where I got confused.

    Here's the lens that comes with the camera itself.
    http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...52921665887592
    The aperture range that I am capable of with this lens on is F4.5-F29. So what does the f/3.5-5.6 mean on the lens?

    Also, I want to potentially buy more lenses for zoom and macro purposes. I assumed getting them from Sony is the best option, but are there also other choices that I could look into?
    Also, when it comes to Zoom and Macro lenses, I wanted to know exactly how the 'mm' applies to each. I figured that (for example, my current lens is 18-55mm) is the range at which it can zoom. I don't know how to convert them or apply them to Macro (the macro I want is http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...uctId=11039114 ) or apply them to Zoom (the zoom I want is http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...uctId=11035733 ).

    Do you have other recommendations?

    Thanks!
    -Jess
