Hi all,
I am in a real mess here I have a my first DSLR a Canon 400D and I have been playing around with the lens taking photos etc trying to get use to my new toy and I would like to know how do you know what setting to use, what lens to use for what. This is what I have at the moment

0.28m/0.9ft 55mm

0.45m/1.5ft 50mm

Teleconverter 2x Can someone tell me how do I use this and with which lens

extenison tube also this how do you use this

Zoom lens EF 75-300mm 1.5m/4.9ft

I feel a bit silly at the moment not knowing how some of this works but I dont know anyone I can ask to show me.

I have taken a few photos they are ok I have been going over and over a DVD I have trying to work out how to use the camera and setting there is so much to learn
one day at a time I will get there ( I hope ) lol

Hi Nina.

There's no real need to start two threads with the same question; you're actually diluting the potential to get meaningful answers and making it harder on yourself, which is one of the the reasons that cross posting of messages isn't actually permitted here.

I'll post an answer to the question in the other thread that you started presntly, and lock this one.
