call shops in dayton to see if they stock lenses for your camera... some places will rent equipment but you might as well buy because after a day or 2's rental you've about paid for the lens

unless you have friends with the same camera (and you certainly didnt make many photographer friends with that 'models should pay phtogs' thread), you should rent the lenses. or study with an instructor (ooo, you might have to pay for that), who has similar gear and can loan as your learning. I don't think many instructors have anything less than SLR/DSLR/MF/LF cameras.
When my students have Nikon gear, they have full access to my lenses to experiment with. It's just the nice thing to do. One of my mentors did it for me.
mmm, Dayton. Be there in August. Cant wait.

Well if I have bothered any photographer with what I think then I guess they should deal with it as I am not sorry and never will be...this is how I am. As for the little things said in between the advices ...well, thank you for the advices and I can assure you I am not afraid of anyone and it's not like I am ruining my career if photographers dont like me anymore and wont lend me their lenses...I was asking for stores that might rent not photographers

If you can do all of everything on your own, by all means; disregard what others feel, think, or believe. Just expect other people not to bother with you, either.
Words to consider:
Cooperation
Civility
Community
Consideration
Without those, it's hard to get jobs, hard to get models, and hard to get help, whether regular hand-up kind of help (borrowing a lens for testing) or emergency help (borrowing a camera or battery when there's a problem in the middle of a shoot).

"Cooperation
Civility
Community
Consideration"
I am aware of these but I am not an ass kisser and I will never EVER change my opinions just so people will like me. People who feel offended by what I am thinking should ignore me as I ignore them. The proble is:
I am writing a thread here on where I can go and rent some lenses, from what shop and people start telling me about some post I wrote 2 weeks ago where I was expressing my opinion. Is this some sort of desguised communism called in these days in this country politness that I am not aware of or what? Your list "
Cooperation
Civility
Community
Consideration" is hidding nothing but lies. I preffer people who dont smile in my face then the ones who do it because they are trained to do it and then are talking behind your back. These are hipocrits.

While you are renting some lenses, can you see if they girlfirends as well, I dont want to buy a girlfriend as I am scarred that my research technique is inadequate and I will make a mistake that dont want to admitt to anyone. so I think renting is a great way to go for cowards like us.

Pitaru You need a real camera before you can change the lens on it.
Your problem is a lack of education regarding photography, and too many opinions you can't back up. A new lens won't fix that.
I suggest you stick to being a Suicide Girl or whatever it is you are doing as a model to get photogs to shoot your goth pics for free.
Maybe the next time you shoot with one of those great photographers you bragged about who doesn't charge, you can ask them about cameras and lenses.

No! Extreme Artists I suggest to give me a brake with your stupid answers that have no connections with my questions, ok? Instead either try to stick with the topic or dont answer at all!

All you mention is the "Sony 8mp" so i am assuming you mean you have the CYBERSHOT DSC-F828.
From looking at the camera, the lense looks fixed and the camera is not a SLR. This means you cannot change the lens's on this camera.
The question you asked about the lense does not make sense if you have that camera.
Being a 8mp though it should do most of what you need with the lense it has. Since your new to photography keep trying shots and working with them, the lense/camera you are using will either work for you or it will not, only time will tell.

If that's all you thought about when you selected it, then it likely is not.
I know the Sony you have is not an SLR, so you can't change lenses. The Sony you have is a point & shoot camera, and the sensor is very noisy.

If there are ANY lenses available for this camera other than the one that is attached to it right now, SONY would have it listed. Check the web site or check with your local photography place.
I do not think replacable/ changable lenses are available for this camera but it never hurts to look. You would need a SLR to be able to change lenses like you want.
