Hello! I just purchased my first DSLR, Pentax k10D. I am very excited! I didn't get the kits lens because I wasn't sure if I would need it. The guy at Ritz sold me a Quantaray 28-90 1:3.5-5.6. When I got home I researched this lens and it got horrible reviews. I don't really know anything about lenses. I am so new to this. What does the 3.5-5.6 mean? For my prime, I am going to buy a 50mm 1.4, which came highly recommended. I feel I need a zoom because I want to take pictures of my daughter when she does ballet classes and performances, soccer and swim. I bought a DSLR because I felt I wasn't getting the pictures I wanted (or as I quick as I wanted) from my point and shoot. I plan to take pictures of my children and perhaps one day turn this love into a business. I love taking pictures of them outside; portraiture shots. Of course my daughter has a recital this weekend and I would love to use my new camera if I can find the right lens. Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it.
