lens that most retailers sell along
with the body of the camera. The
most commonly sold are the 50 mm.
They have an f-stop range of between
f/1.2 to f/2.8. ( some are faster
but more expensive) |

usually between 20 mm to 28 mm. They
are used to take pictures with a
large number of subjects or scenic
views. They have a wide depth of
field. |

a range of focal lengths you can use
to move from one type of lens to
another. You can have a wide angle,
normal and telephoto lens all in one

Telephoto-This lens is
used to photograph a distant subject
such as a bird. They bring the
subject closer to you like a
telescope. They can run to over 500
mm |

excellent addition to any lens
system is a teleconverter, sometimes
called teleextender. This handy
device fits between the body and the
lens and doubles or triples the
focal length of the lens. For
example a 50 mm lens becomes a 100
mm lens. Its easy to install and
saves a lot of room in the gadget
bag. |
 Keep
your lenses free
from dust,
fingerprints and
scratches.
A great photo
can and will be
distorted
ruined or
defaced. |

Buy
from a reputable
dealer some
lenses may
appear good but
will in the long
run make for
disappointing
images. |
