Your shutter speed is what controls how long the shutter is open for light to enter the camera and touch the sensor (or film, in the old days). Modern digital sensors collect light the same way that film did some years ago. The more time your shutter is open, the more...

The best lens for the money is generally a zoom lens in the area of 28-80mm. When you start to shop for lenses for your camera, you are going to first run into the basic types, which are standard, telephoto and wide angle. A standard lens usually has a focal length of 50 mm, and a camera lens that has a focal length less than that is known as a wide angle lens. A telephoto lens is one with a focal length of more than 50 mm. Which camera lens you end up buying depends on what you want to use...

We recently did an evaluation of lenses by...

It’s just that. First thing first, it’s a K-mount camera, meaning all existing K-mount lenses are compatible with it.
