Telephoto Zoom Lens
Most of us are used to having a camera with standard lenses. The telephoto zoom lens is completely different from what a standard lens would be like. Simply stated, the telephoto zoom lens is similar to a telescope. A telescope brings objects closer to you and makes it appear larger. The same applies to a telephoto zoom lens. Objects that are placed far will look closer and also larger than the actual size.
The telephoto zoom lens has a focal length longer than 50mm. This amount is usually seen in a standard lens. The shortest focal length of a telephoto zoom lens is considered to be around 85mm while the highest can be around 200mm or more.
Longer the focal length of a telephoto zoom lens, the better magnification it will have. A telephoto zoom lens with a focal length of around 100mm will give twice the magnification of a standard lens that has a focal length of 50mm. A 400mm telephoto zoom lens will give almost eight times the magnification of a standard lens. Unbelievable isn’t it?
If you are a person who enjoys the wildlife, the telephoto zoom lens will be the ideal option for you. For example, imagine yourself face to face with a lion. Although it is somewhere around 50mm away from you, it is still pointing its eyes at you. This would be the perfect moment to capture a picture of it. Having a 50mm standard lens would mean that the lion would look really small on your digital SLR. Having a telephoto zoom lens with a focal length of 400mm or 500mm would give you almost 10 times of its size, nearly filling up the whole camera frame.
Safety comes first and a telephoto zoom lens can be the answer to it. How so? Let’s say that you were stuck in your jeep while there were a few lions grazing somewhere nearby. Going near them to take pictures would be dangerous. Luckily if you are the owner of a camera that has telephoto zoom lens, you could take pictures no matter how far you are from the object. This can be done in the safety of your vehicle.
Pictures of different sports could be taken from the sidelines. Candid pictures of your children could be taken. If you were a reporter that needs to take pictures from an unnoticed place, the telephoto zoom lens would be the most ideal.
The telephoto zoom lens comes in two types; the prime telephotos and the zoom telephotos. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner of a professional photographer, the telephoto zoom lens is considered to be an invaluable tool for taking outstanding, high-quality pictures.
