Telephoto Lenses

What exactly is telephoto lenses? Are they important to you? These are all important questions if you want to know about telephoto lenses. Telephoto lenses give you a narrower view than standard lenses give you thus the name telephoto. Taking pictures is like looking through a telescope of a set of binoculars. It makes things look larger which in a way is a great idea. Telephoto lens come in various sizes for many different reasons. The telephoto lens lets you zoom in on a certain sport or area which means alot for the photographer. If the photographer needs to zoom in on say one person in a crowd this is one good reason to use telephoto lenses. Their are many different telephoto lenses out their and that won't change anytime soon. I look for more and more people to purchase telephone lenses as the use for these become more popular. Cheap telephoto lenses will beginning to hit the market more and more. Now this will become a double edge sword for a number of different reasons.


Cheap telephoto lenses are usually not of the same quality as canon telephoto lenses. This is why a brand name lens is usually alot higher. The quality of these cheaper telephoto lenses is something that you may want to consider before you make an purchase. The other issue that you should check into is will they fit your camera. Many times they tell you they will only to find out that they won't. Always make sure that they fit before making any kind of a purchase. Alot of times companies will not refund your money if you take them home and try to return them. Always check on store's policy especially if your buying a cheaper type of telephoto lenses. In the future the telephoto lenses will just keep getting better. Do some research on telephoto lenses before you purchase anything that way you know what your getting. The Internet is a great place to learn about them and some sites give reviews on them which will help you alot on your purchase.

Telephoto lenses are becoming even more popular as the digital camera SLR's are some of the hottest sellers. These telephoto lenses just make taking pictures just that much more enjoyable. Give them a try just once.

Camera Lens F-Stop Values Explained

Lens aperture settings are commonly knows as f-stops. The letter "f" is an abbreviation of the term "focal-ratio", which describes the ratio of the lens's focal length to the diameter of the light entrance pupil (more commonly called the aperture). The standard sequence of f-stops is: f/1.4 f/2 f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6 f/8 f/11 f/16 f/22 On this scale, an f/1.4 setting is the largest aperture, while f/22 is the smallest, and each f-stop in the sequence is half the size of its neighbour to the left, and twice the size of its neighbour to the right. In other words, f/5.6 permits the passage of twice as much light as f/8, but only half the light of f/4. Low f-stop numbers represent larger apertures, and higher f-stop numbers indicate smaller apertures because the f-stop is a ratio is between the size of the aperture and the focal length of the lens; i.e. a bigger number represents a larger difference. Here's the maths for a 50mm lens. f-stop / Diameter (...
