Whereas the crop sensor has a crop of 1.6x (Canon) or 1.5x (Nikon). So on a crop sensor a 50mm lens will actually have the focal length of 80mm (Canon) or 75mm (Nikon).

A prime lens is one that has a fixed focal length. Meaning if you want more or less in your frame, you have to move your feet. Fixed means the lens doesn’t move once it’s on your camera.

This is my go-to sports lens. If you are wanting to shoot some action shots of your favorite football player, this is the lens you want.

A Lensbaby is a lens that is for the creative photos. It’s on ball and socket mechanism and allows you to do special effects. This lens probably won’t be your every day lens, unless creative photography is your thing. It sure is fun.

Who doesn’t love new lenses? The way it changes how you shoot, the depth of field, and the beautiful aperture. I want to give you a super handy lens comparisons so you too can experience the new lens feeling.

There are so many different lenses out there that it can be overwhelming. All of the numbers and brands start to blur together. Let’s have a look at some of my favorites, and do a lens comparisons to make it easier for you when you’re ready for your next lens.

The higher the mm number on the lens, the closer it will be. So it will not always be better to have less space. Ultimately, only you can answer this question because it depends greatly on your subject matter and your photography style.

A full frame camera is exactly what is sounds like, it will give you the full mm listed on your lens. If you have a 50mm lens, the focal length is 50mm.

If you aren’t sure if you have a crop sensor or a full frame, you can do a quick search and find out since it will really help you determine which lens to buy.

Core Optics LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, runs its operations through its Korean subsidiary, Core Optics Co., Ltd. Core Optics Co., Ltd. was established in 2023 after acquiring a compact camera module testing equipment product line. It is renowned for its involvement in a high-value enterprise centered around the production and distribution of inspection equipment tailored for compact camera modules (CCM) used in smartphones and automobiles.

Finally, the transaction would enable Core Optics to prominently enter North American markets, facilitating greater business activity between U.S. auto manufacturers and other potential high value customer segments.

One reason I love the 35mm is because you can buy this lens with a wide aperture such as f/ 1.4. This gives you that beautiful blurred background without compromising your space.

Maybe you’re on vacation and you want some photos of the hotel you stayed in AND you want some close ups of the family. This universal lens will do it all.

They both are wonderful lenses you can’t go wrong. The 50mm is a cheap option for sharp portraits. The 35mm is a classic wider frame that allows you to still get crisp photos but gives you a little more room to work with. Lucky for you, I have a whole post that compares the two so you can decide for yourself which one is the perfect match for you. Check my post on 35mm vs 50mm.

Core Optics recently expanded its service scope to encompass the burgeoning Electric Vehicle (EV) market. This is one of the reasons that The Coretec Group’s proprietary technology is so complementary, as its Endurion battery development program markets to the same customer base. It represents a significant value proposition for Core Optics’ automotive business, facilitated by the Company’s existing sales channel and customer relationships. In addition, the advanced development of the Company’s C-Space volumetric display technology fits well within Core Optics’ prominent CCM and photonics business, in which its deep knowledge and expertise could further C-Space development.

The Coretec Group, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation is an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based developer of engineered silicon and is using its expertise to develop silicon anodes for lithium-ion batteries that will charge faster and last longer. This program is called Endurion. Silicon has the theoretical ability to hold up to 10x the amount of lithium-ions as compared to traditional graphite. Through its proprietary micron and nanoparticle approach, Endurion is loading silicon into the battery anode. A modest increase in silicon will be a game changer that will revolutionize the EV market as well as other energy storage applications.

Decide what your photography style is and go from there. Some people NEED a zoom lens and others need a fast smaller prime lens. Just try to keep the aperture wide since it will give you that professional blurred background.

While there are some differences in the name brand lens compared to the third party lens, I don’t think it’s enough to make that much of a difference.

The “Nifty Fifty” is a great first lens to have! The lens boast a wide aperture, and it is small and easy to keep on your camera.

I say ditch the kit lens. You can save your money and spend it on a better quality lens at the same price or maybe even cheaper. Go for a lens like the 50mm 1.8. I promise you it will be significantly better than the kit lens.

For example if you are in a house, you probably do not want to be using a 70mm-200mm zoom lens because you will not have much room in your frame.

As a beginner you will probably want a lens that allows you to have a wide aperture like 1.8. I love my 35mm and my 50mm. They are both prime lenses that are a cost efficient way to practice photography. You will also be able to use them as a professional. If you choose a zoom lens make sure to get a fixed aperture.

I regularly use both a Tamron and a Sigma and I love them. I can honestly say that I can’t tell a difference in the quality.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Coretec Group, Inc. (OTCQB: CRTG) (the “Company”), developer of silicon anode active materials for lithium-ion batteries, and cyclohexasilane (CHS) for EV, cleantech, and 3D display technology, and Core Optics, LLC (“Core Optics”) announced today that they have entered into a definitive share exchange agreement pursuant to which, on the closing date, the Company is expected to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Core Optics, LLC and its subsidiaries which hold all its tangible assets and intellectual property across all its technologies and industry verticals.

A third party lens is a lens that is not made by the camera brand. That means Tamron, Sigma, and Tokina are all third party lenses.

Core Optics specializes in the design and fabrication of cutting-edge inspection and assembly machinery for the CCM industry. Core Optics has amassed a wealth of expertise and data pertaining to its testing algorithms, including the rights to over 30+ patents. With commercial products and sales channels in established industries that are also considered high-growth, including automotive and VR/AR, Core Optics has solidified its position as a market leader for providing pivotal process solutions.

The 35mm lens is a universal lens that is easy to use indoors or for travel. It’s small and lightweight but allows you to fit a lot in the frame without too much distortion.

This is going to be your go-to lens for environmental shots. It is a wide angle lens that allows you to get more in the frame. Because of that it might cause a little distortion.
