Aperture

Aperture is an important feature to consider when buying a lens. The aperture determines how much light the lens lets into the sensor. It tells you how much light the lens can get through to the sensor at its best. Much light means you can keep shooting in darker conditions without the image blurring due to camera shake. If you often find yourself working in low light, then the aperture A larger lens will be your best choice. Using a larger aperture also allows you to use a faster shutter speed when shooting hand-held or fast-moving subjects. Lenses with wider apertures also allow you to increase the bokeh.

Focal Length

The next thing to consider when choosing your new lens is the focal length. The focal length is given in millimeters.

Wide Angle

The wide-angle lens still provides a very wide angle of view, but with less distortion than the ultra-wide-angle lens. Ranging from 24 mm to 35 mm, they are suitable for many different types of photography, from landscapes to group portraits. On the negative side the wide angle is not ideal for photographing people, at least not in a pure portrait context.

Telephoto

Larger telephoto lenses can provide any focal length from 100 mm to approximately 800 mm. Their zoom capabilities make them a versatile lens choice for a variety of subjects. These are popular choices for sports or wildlife photographers.

Standard Lens

The cross between a wide angle and a telephoto lens is called a normal lens. Starting from 35mm, compared with a wide angle lens, a standard lens can more accurately reproduce what the human eye sees in terms of angle of view and angle of view.

Different Camera Lens Types

Prime Lens

A fixed focal length lens is a lens with a fixed focal length, which can provide high-quality images. Compared with zoom lenses, they usually provide a wider aperture. In terms of size, fixed-focus lenses are often smaller than zoom lenses. Since there are fewer moving parts, fixed-focus lenses are also generally cheaper than zoom lenses.

However, having only one focal length means that you may need multiple lenses to meet all your needs, which is inconvenient.

Zoom Lens

Flexibility is the biggest advantage of zoom lenses. Their zoom capability reduces the need for multiple lenses. On the contrary, a lens can be used for multiple purposes.

The zoom lens always increases the aperture like a fixed focus lens. It is expensive, but it cannot provide the quality associated with a prime lens. In addition, they can also be very large and bulky.
