: When thinking of buying new lenses what is best?.
: [1] buy the lenses which are made for the camera from the cameras manufacturer
: [2] buy lenses from a second party lense manufacturer.

well i'd definitely recommend sticking with the manufacturers lenses if u can afford that
having said that, i picked up a very nice second party 28mm OM fit lens for under Ł20
try before u buy really

: Which is best when considering lenses >300mm
: [1] a full lenght lense or
: [2] a mirror lense.

well a full length telephoto is more versatile as mirror lenses do not have an adjustable aperture
it all depends if size is important to you...if u can carry and support a telephoto then it's a better lens, but if u need portability then a mirror lens is worth looking into
