Re: NEW to DSLR's

So the 10-18mm 'replaces' my current lens, or threads onto the front like a filter?

I would really like to take wider pics, as right now when I come home and look at the images I have the just don't seem as nice as the 'actual' scene. The old saying,"Pictures don't do them justice." Would seem to apply.

I guess I am a little confused on the whole MM thing. My lens is 18-55mm, which I assume means as you zoom in and out it goes from 18 to 55mm, but what goes from 18 to 55mm??

This can't be a distance thing, if it were wouldn't 10-18mm just be a shorter distance?

I'm really dumb about cameras here!

I think I need to go to Amazon and buy, "Photography for Dummies." LOL.
