What camera lenses fit these specifications?
What camera lenses fit these specifications?
Question by Kia W
What camera lenses fit into these two categories. I need to buy them for my sister as a surprise , because she needs them for a job, and I don’t know what it means.
Must have 12mm to 105mm shooting lens range on a DX (1.5) sized CCD/CMOS DSLR
Must have 18mm to 155mm shooting lens range on a Full Frame (35mm) sized CCD/CMOS DSLR
Best answer for :What camera lenses fit these specifications? :
Answer by fhotoace
You forgot the most important specification … the brand of the camera
“Must have 12mm to 105mm shooting lens range on a DX (1.5) sized CCD/CMOS DSLR”
One possibility would be a Nikon D300 with both a 12-24 mm zoom and 18-200 mm VR zoom (about ,300)
“Must have 18mm to 155mm shooting lens range on a Full Frame (35mm) sized CCD/CMOS DSLR”
The Nikon D3 with the following lenses will cover those focal lengths … 14-24 mm f/2.8, 24-70 mm f/.28 and 70-200 mm f/2.8 (about ,500)
Since she needs both systems, you are looking at just under ,000.
NICE surprise!!!

On a Canon cropped sensor, the EF-S 10-22 mm f/3.5 – 4.5 USM (~$700) and the 24-105 mm f/4 L IS USM (~$1,000) lenses would cover it (assuming I’m understanding your needs correctly).
On a full frame, the Canon 17-40 MM f/4 L (~$600) and the 28-300 mm f/3.5 – 5.6 L IS USM (~$2,300) is all I can think of that would cover that range.
To the comments below regarding 3rd party lenses…
If your sister is looking at these lenses for a job, I wouldn’t trust it to third party lenses in that price range. The quality just isn’t there. I don’t think any professional photographer would take a Tamron $300 28-200 mm lens if they’re looking for decent images.
There’s a reason you see Canon L glass on Canon bodies used by pros.
ccd and cmos are two different types of sensors. are these lenses for two different cameras, they have to be because 1.5 is a cropped sensor and the other is full frame. this appears to be two different zooms for two different cameras. i think at least one of them is Nikon because they have 1.5 sensors. Canons’ cropped sensor is 1.6
we need to know what camera or cameras you need the lenses for. just the make and model, and of course, the zoom range. sorry.
Based upon your description it appears that they want a particular set of focal lengths covered. So you can get a DX camera with lenses to cover the 12 to 105mm range OR you can get a 35mm framed dSLR with lenses to cover 18 to 155mm (essentially, giving you the same field of view). They just forgot apparently to put an “OR” between the two sentences in your question above. Note that 12mm x 1.5 = 18mm and that 105mm x 1.5 = 157.5mm or very close to 155mm.
Thus, if your sister has a DX-based camera, such as the Nikon D90 or D300, you could get these lenses: Tokina 12-24mm and a Sigma 18-200mm. That would cover the 12 to 105mm range very nicely. And if your sister owns a Canon SLR, you can get these lenses in a Canon mount as well. Total cost, probably around $800-$850.
Now, if your sister owns a 35mm-framed camera, such as the Canon 5D or the Nikon D700 or Nikon D3, then there are other lens choices. In Nikon, the 18-35mm is a relatively inexpensive lens but a decent performer and sells used for a good price. Then, you can get a simple Tamron 28-200mm zoom lens to cover the rest of the focal lengths. Total cost, probably about $600 to 700. Canon has a 17-40mm f/4 wide angle lens about $700, so your total cost would be about $1000 (figuring $300 for a Tamron 28-200mm).
In short, you don’t need to spend $13,000 to get these lenses. You’re looking more like $1000 or slightly less.
