I'm interested in learning some basics about telephoto camera lenses. I was expexting to see the magnification described as 2x, 3x etc., but instead I saw an ad that said "Magnification: (65 to 600mm)", I don't know what that means.

I am thinking about buying a digital camera that also does movies, and a lens for photographing wildlife. I would like to do extreme closeups from 50-100 feet away. After researching, I would like to take a chance on ebay and get the most zoom for the buck. General 'newbie' tips appreciated.
Thanks averyone. Fredshelp, this was very well stated, "The 2x, 3x 10x designations are really just the rough result of dividing the Telephoto number by the Wide Angle number." Now I see, I will start researching when school lets out, but the great posts here will be a good launch.

On 35mm camera lenses, what is the name of the measurement for the thread diameter at the front of the lens? July 9, 2009 | 02:49 am

Most 35mm film camera lenses have a screw thread on the inside of the lens housing at the front, which is used to attach filters or a sun hood. The diameter of this thread is usually marked on the front of the lens in millimeters, such as 49, 52, or 55, followed by an "o" with a diagonal slash through it. I need to know the name of this measurement. (It's not "focal length".)
