Step Lines

-[* black] In addition to greater setting customizability, SLRs have another major advantage over point and shoot cameras; they have exchangeable lenses. Different lenses allow for different picture settings. For example, a telephoto lens allows photos to be taken from great distance. The Sigma lens shown is excellent for extreme close ups.
-[* black] With the Sigma lens, the range that photos must be taken from is much closer than any "Point and Shoot" camera would be capable of. Additionally, the same goes for the quality of the photo taken.
-[* black] As you can see, this lens is extremely good at getting way up in the face of that quarter and capturing small details a Point and Shoot would miss.
+[* black] Even though an all-purpose zoom lens should take care of the majority of photos that you need to take, sometimes you need to get close to the action—really close. This is where a macro lens comes in.
+[* black] Unlike the 18-105mm lens that came with the camera—which cannot focus on objects closer than about 1.5 feet away—a macro lens, like the one shown here, can focus on objects that are only a few inches away. This kind of close-up photography is crucial if you're documenting things like circuit boards or the pattern on a butterfly's wing.
+ [* icon_note] Look at all the scratches on George Washington's neck! There's no way this quarter is still worth 25¢.
