- 4. 1) Zoom Lens â–«Lenses with zoom feature, as the name implies. â–« Convenient lens to use. No need to go on frenzy to change lenses. â–« Zoom lenses may be convenient, but they are more complex mechanically. â–« May break if the zoom mechanism is badly designed or have poor quality. 4
- 5. 2) Prime Lens â–«Opposite of zoom lens. Prime lenses have fixed focal length. â–« But without zoom mechanics, prime lenses are generally less complicated and more well-built. â–« Prime lenses also typically last longer than zoom lenses. 5
- 6. 3) Wide-Angle Lens â–«Lenses that are capable of capturing a wide angle of view. â–« Normally around the focal length range of 16-35mm. â–« Good for landscape and environmental portrait photography. â–« Good for tall buildings. 6
- 7. 4) Normal/General Lens ▫Focal length range of about 35- 50mm; Also close to our human eyes. ▫ Generally used for almost everything – Casual, street, portrait, food, products, etc… ▫ Don’t really have disadvantages, just a generic range of lens. 7
- 8. 5) Telephoto ▫ The“bazooka” lens. Big and bulky. ▫ Capable of shooting things far far away. ▫ Normally used by nature and wildlife photographers who do not want to disturb the animals. ▫ Also sometimes used by sports photographers, because they cannot get too close to the action. 8
- 9. 6) Macro â–« Madeto focus up close. â–« Somewhat like a microscope. â–« Used to take close up shots of insects, flowers and products. â–« Opens up a new world of photography, otherwise invisible to the naked eye. 9
