Zoom Lenses

Zoom lenses are probably one of best innovations that have come along in a very long time. Zoom lenses have taken picture taking to another whole level. So what exactly is a zoom lens and how does it help me. These are simple questions and some real simple answers. The zoom lens is exactly what it states. It zooms in on whatever kind of picture you want from a distant and gets you a closeup shot. Zoom lenses have really become popular recently as digital camera and camcorders have some of the best zoom lenses around. Once you try a zoom lens you will never want to go back to anything else. I can't blame you on that one either.


Zoom lenses make taking pictures a breeze and you can look like a professional even if your not. Some of ways that a zoom lens will help you is taking a picture of your son or daughter if your in the stands and can't get real close to the action. The zoom lens will zoom and let you get a picture as if you were standing right beside him or her. Now it can't get any better than that. No more getting a front row seat just to take pictures anymore as long as you have a zoom lens.

Other uses for zoom lenses that I have found our wildlife pictures. The zoom lenses can capture action you wouldn't be able to get especially if you try to get closer to the object. How many times have you tried to get closer to a subject only to find it runs away and you lose the shot you wanted. Zoom lenses stops you from having to worry about that. Their are various sizes of zoom lenses so you need to make sure you get the right one for your camera based on what kind of pictures you will be taking. If your are not taking any pictures at a great distance than go with a smaller zoom lenses. if you are than a longer zoom is probably best for you. It all depends on what kind of pictures you will be taking. Zoom lenses are something that everyone should try especially if they never have. Once you try them you may never go back to what you did before. Zoom lenses are here to stay and will be something that will only get better over the years.

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 (...
