For a start, the 58mm you read is the diameter of the thread at the front of the lens to take filters-the closest distance of that lens is 4.9 feet.
The manual will not teach you photography-it will only inform you what each knob and button on the camera will do. -They are written by engineers, not photographers
you can take flower shots with that lens,but you would have been better off with the 18-55 kit lens.
If you send me your e-mail address, I will send you my guide to using a DSLR. Regards, Ken
