Once you know what kind of sensor you have (full-frame or cropped), you can start shopping for the correct lens. Most lenses fall into two categories;

Thanks in advance for your free courses on different photography issues. I`ve just gone over the whole explanation in connection with the different sorts of lenses; I found it quite practical and useful. It has dawned on me, in a clear way, the different technical concepts of photography lenses. Quite grateful.

A prime lens has a single focal length. They are smaller and lighter than other lens. The most popular focal length is 50mm, which is supposed to be a close match to the magnification of the human eye.

The Liquid Line product family adapts perfectly to the shapes of the architecture and forms a form-fitting unit with the building. In-house production makes their flexibility unique on the market, enabling smooth transitions and merging with the premises - for a unique architectural experience.

Costlier high-end zoom lenses maintain the same maximum aperture setting throughout their focal length range, while less expensive zoom lenses use a variable aperture range. For example, a lens with an aperture range of “f/3.5 – f/5.6” will be noted on the actual lens barrel as “1:3.5-5.6”. Lens kits sold with many consumer DSLR and compact system cameras often have a maximum aperture of f/3.5-5.6.

One problem that may arise at the longer focal lengths is that it can become difficult to hold the camera steady enough to get a clear and sharp shot. Many of these lenses have built in optical image stabilization (sometimes referred to as vibration reduction) to help alleviate this problem. While it may cost a little more to purchase a lens with this feature, it will greatly increase the quality of your photos in the end.

Unlimited possibilities also apply to the technical lighting features: light colors, color rendering, opal diffusers and microprismatic optics for glare-free use in offices can be freely configured. Direct and indirect radiation can be switched separately, and a wide variety of colors and surfaces promote perfect architectural adaptation.

Third party lens manufacturers include Zeiss, Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, Meyer-Optik Gorlitz, Rokinon, IRIX, Lensbaby, Samyang, Venus Optics, and Voigtlander Nokton.

Prime don’t zoom in and out due to their fixed focal length. But they produce sharper high quality images than zoom lenses.

Another use for macro lenses is portraits (especially headshots and studio portraits). It is hard to beat the stunning sharpness of a macro lens.

Wide-angle lenses allow your camera to capture more of the scene than a normal lens can and are ideal for landscape, nature, architecture, real estate, and interior photography.

In the end, your decision to purchase your second or third lens can have an amazingly positive impact on the quality of your photos. However, just by purchasing an expensive DSLR with a high-end lens alone won’t be enough to rocket you into the league of Ansel Adams or Annie Leibovitz.

Image stabilization is available in a wide range of different lenses, but it’s particularly effective with longer focal length lenses because images taken with longer lenses require faster shutter speeds to keep them sharp.

Both an unwanted artifact and a creative technique, lens flare occurs when light enters the lens, reflects, and scatters. The resulting bright spots or streaks may distract from the main subject. However, photographers often embrace lens flare as a creative element.

Yet another critical factor you need to consider when shopping for a lens is the camera sensor size. Most of the consumer DSLR cameras costing under $1,200 use what is known as a cropped or APS-C sensor measuring approximately 22x15mm. Higher end professional DSLR cameras use a full-frame sensor that is the same size as 35mm film measuring 36x24mm. Before you go shopping for a new lens, check the specifications of your camera to determine whether you have an APS-C or full-frame sensor.

Next to the camera body, your camera lenses are the second most important part of your camera. Selecting the right lens (or lenses) is essential for getting the shots you want. Selecting a new camera lens requires time and research because you have to consider several factors; desired focal length, lens speed, compatibility with your camera, and budget.

The focal length of a lens is determined when the lens is focused at infinity. It basically tells us the angle of view, or how much of a scene will be captured, and the magnification (how large elements will be in the image). Longer focal lengths have a narrower angle of view and higher magnification. Shorter the focal lengths offer a wider angle of view and the lower or smaller the magnification.

Similar to a Prime lens, a Wide Angle lens has a fixed focal length. These lenses have a short focal length (usually around 35mm) and a wide field of view. Ultra-wide angle lens are about 24mm or wider.

Very useful information on the categories of lenses. I only thought that no matter what kind of photography I wish, it’s always matter expensive lenses should be used for better photography but now I knew even the lens with low price can get the better picture if we know the subject well and the type of lens to be used. Thanks once again.

Another factor to take into consideration is the aperture. There are several different types of camera lens available for a wide range of uses. Lenses are identified by two primary parameters; the maximum aperture and focal length. Shorter focal length prime lenses have maximum apertures ranging from approximately f/1.2 to f/2.8. Telephoto lenses often have a maximum aperture of f/2.8 to f/5.6.

The Liquid Line's recipe for success: it offers a broad portfolio of standard modules and can be produced in any conceivable shape at the same time - for perfect customization. Thus, the Liquid Line is not only flexible on the horizontal plane, modules with a vertical bend to measure are also possible.

If you are wanting to step up your image quality, you’ll want to find a faster lens (a lens with a faster aperture, i.e. f/2.8). Both Canon and Nikon offer a 24-70mm f/2.8. This wider aperture will give you the ability to shoot with a smaller depth of field. For more information on depth of field, click here. While this lens does have a similar focal range to the kit lens, the aperture advantage will greatly increase the quality of your photos.

The diversity of the Liquid Line is also reflected in the areas of application: from offices to stores, shopping centers, hotels, public buildings, lobbies and churches to clinics and educational institutions, there are no limits.

Nothing ruins an image more than a blurry image resulting from camera shake. Camera shake is particularly problematic at slower shutter speeds or with longer focal length lenses (telephoto or zoom). Image stabilisation (abbreviated ‘IS’) compensates for camera or lens movement and will help you to achieve sharper images at slower shutter speeds.

Higher quality lenses are usually weather sealed and as you might have guessed, more expensive. Canon “L” lenses (Canon Luxury Lenses) can be easily identified by a red ring or white body. Nikkor lenses have “ED” on the lens barrel to signify the “Extra Low Dispersion” glass used in the lens.

Each camera manufacturer uses its own proprietary lens mount that we refer to as first-party lenses.  This means camera lenses cannot be swapped with different brands; a Nikon lens won’t fit on a Canon body. Other manufactures, referred to as third-party, make lenses to fit different mounts on multiple brands.

You need to familiarize yourself with are the various types of lenses available for your camera and the various definitions. Before we go any further, we’re assuming you have or plan to purchase a digital camera the accommodates removable interchangeable lenses. There are five general categories of camera lenses;

Lenses are made specifically for full-frame sensors or crop sensor cameras. Crop frame sensor lenses are designed specifically to match the smaller sensor size inside the camera. If your camera has a cropped sensor, you can use both full-frame and cropped frame lenses. However, if you have a full-frame sensor camera, you don’t want to use a lens for crop-frame cameras. Full-frame cameras should only use lenses designed for full-frame cameras.

For years, architecture was characterised by cubism - functionalism and clear lines were in the foreground. Through new building technologies, the forms of architecture became increasingly organic and expressive, characterised by flowing lines and new combinations. This architectural development in combination with LED technology, which makes almost any form technically feasible, enabled us to think much more freely in terms of design and forms. This was the birth of the Liquid Line. Lightnet was the first manufacturer on the market with a flexible light line for flowing shapes and to this day we are the only supplier who can implement all radii horizontally and vertically.

A telephoto lens has a long reach, which allows you to shoot a subject that is far away. A lens is considered telephoto if it has a focal length of at least 60mm. Telephoto lenses come in a number of focal lengths from medium telephoto (70-200mm) to super telephoto (longer than 300mm).

Keep in mind that depending on your needs, your lens selection can vary greatly. For example, a landscape photographer will need a different lens than a portrait photographer, and a photojournalist may need a different lens than a wedding photographer. Each section below will break down which lens is best for which style of photography.

Unlike a prime lens with a fixed focal length, zoom lenses have a variable focal length that can be adjusted. Some of the most popular zoom lens focal length ranges are 24-70mm and 24-85mm.

For those who aren’t familiar with what a prime lens is, it is any lens with a fixed focal length. This category includes lenses such as the 50mm f/1.8, 35mm f/1.8, and the 85mm f/1.8.

The pictures you take, or the pictures you plan on taking, will determine which lens is right for you. So first decide if you need a lens for photographing picturesque landscapes, travel, sports, close-up shots, capturing wildlife, a lens for wedding photography, or even for a traditional portrait.

A macro lens is for extremely close focusing distances and are capable of taking highly detailed images of tiny microscopic sized subjects like flowers, insects, products, jewellery, coins, and wildlife.

Some lens manufacturers offer different qualities of camera lenses. When we talk about a higher quality lens, we usually mean the glass elements used in the construction of the lens are of a higher grade, resulting superior quality images.

Additionally, there are many options out there for renting lenses to try out before you make a final purchase decision. Try Borrow Lenses or Adorama Rental Company.

The focal length of a camera lens, usually represented in millimeters or mm, is a description of the lens, but is not a measurement of the actual length of the lens. Focal length is a calculation of the optical distance from the point where light rays converge to form an in-focus image of the subject to the digital sensor in the camera.

Next, check for lens mounting compatibility and compatibility with the sensor in your camera. Decide whether you need a fast lens and what maximum aperture you desire. Decide whether you need a higher quality lens and what extra features you need (image stabilization, autofocus, weatherproof, etc.).

So how do you tell the difference between a full-frame sensor camera and a camera with a cropped sensor? Lens manufacturers label their APS-C format SLR lenses as follows:

Some cameras have image stabilization built-in, while others use IS in the lens. Image Stabilization in the lens works by using electromagnets to move internal glass elements. When you turn on image stabilization, those electromagnets are activated to create a floating spring-like suspension system so the glass can absorb camera shake and make your images sharper. Each manufacturer has its own definition for image stabilization;

I think it’s so important to learn how to use manual mode! It helps us be more creative with our shots! I hope to experiment some more with it! Thanks for sharing 🙂

In this article on Camera Lenses Explained, our goal is to arm you with the information you’ll need to choose the most suitable lens for your needs. At some point in time, you may find yourself shopping for a new lens for either practical or creative reasons. The first step in the process is to determine the variables you need to take into account when selecting your new lens.

If you plan on focusing on sports or close-up nature photography, for example, then you should consider purchasing a telephoto zoom lens. These lenses fall in the range of 70-200mm f/2.8, depending on the brand, and can be extremely helpful when you are trying to capture your child on the soccer field, or take a photo of a far away animal in the woods.

Lens distortion refers to the warping or bending of images caused by imperfections in the lens, resulting in straight lines appearing curved or stretched in photos.

Landscape photography is one of the more popular photography genres, but like anything else, getting those beautiful landscape photos depends, at least in part, on

These lenses can be either zoom or prime lenses. Telephoto lenses make your subject appear closer to your camera and they help emphasize a blurred background.

Camera lenses will be a good investment because lenses usually last longer than camera bodies and are less likely to become obsolete. So don’t be afraid to spend a little extra for a quality lens. Those of you who are just starting your journey in capturing photography with professional-level cameras – moving away from the phones or point and shoots.
