What is a Camera Lens?
Camera lenses focus light onto the sensor, creating sharp, detailed images. Different lenses serve various purposes in photography. Prime lenses have a fixed focal length, offering sharpness and wide apertures for low light and beautiful background blur. Zoom lenses provide flexibility with adjustable focal lengths, while wide-angle lenses (typically 35mm or less) are great for capturing expansive landscapes and architecture. Telephoto lenses, with longer focal lengths, excel at photographing distant subjects like wildlife. Macro lenses are designed for extreme close-ups, allowing you to capture fine details. The choice of lens depends on your subject and the creative effect you want to achieve.
