Lenses

Cambridge in Colour has a good section on lenses. It covers prime lenses vs. zoom lenses, how lenses work and how focal length effects angle of view.
The Nikon USA website also has some good information on lenses. There's a good set of pictures illustrating the focal length and the angle of view.
