Yes. It will teach you the basics so you will have the understanding of taking photos. Anyone can give you settings but the settings given may not be appropriate for the picture you are trying to take.

Practice, practice, practice. .... Those videos posted should steer you in the right direction. Might want to invest in a macro lens, the 135 f/2 has a minimum focusing distance around 3ft, a macro will let you get much closer and give 1:1. The EF-S 60mm is a great little lens for the price.

Even with the 7d mark ll ????

I'm assuming you're asking about the focusing distance? It doesn't really change much on the 7Dmk2. The 135 f/2 only has a magnification of 1: .19 where as a macro'so magnification is 1:1.

The camera body is a totally separate entity to the lens. The lens have their own specifications and the camera body uses those different lens aspects to capture an image. This means you need the right lens for the right job or you will have a very hard time getting the picture you want. If you bought the 7D Mark II for only taking pictures of coral, that is a bit of a waste of a good camera. I recommend getting a couple lenses for the camera so you can have some fun with it. A 50mm f1.4 or 35mm f1.8 prime lens for portraits and just daily photography is a good one. Gotta love that bokeh. Then you should get a standard kit zoom lens, 50 - 135mm. You can use this lens for a lot of photo types. Then there is a macro lens. I really want the Sigma 90mm macro lens. There is also the wide angle lenses. I'd like to get an 8mm lens as well for night sky photography. I'm not an expert at all in photography. It is just another one of my hobbies.

Thanks for the clarification, I'm not really the best at putting things in layman's terms.

Thanks and I got the 7d markll for my sons sports but what I'm seeing is the 5d mark lll would be a better camera for tank photos . The 100mm macro will do

Don't waste your money on another camera when you don't need to, the 7D is more than capable for tank photos. You just need to get the proper lenses for the job you're trying to do. A 100mm macro on a 7D will give you more depth than the same lens on the 5D mk3.
