Your goal is essential for good photos. This is not just the camera. People spend thousands of dollars for a good camera and neglect the lens.
Change that around! Make sure you buy a good goal when buying a camera. Buy a camera as well, but not to neglect a good camera.
Why? The camera is only the "owner" for the camera. The goal is that your camera sees all your shots. A good goal iscritical image is sharp and clear.
With most compact digital cameras, you can not change lenses. So in this case simply do not buy a good camera to take a good goal.
Avoid plastic camera, because it is the clarity of a glass lens.
What is the model of the lens?
Stick with the camera lens from leading manufacturers such as nikon, canon and Pentax. Make sure you buy a lens that works with your Camera. A nikon camera lens is generally not good with a canon camera.
There are specialized lens manufacturers like Carl Zeiss, Leica and Leupold. If you are a beginner do not worry until the lens quality is more advanced than they are at very high prices and it is difficult to justify the price of a slight increase.
Types of camera lens
The most common targets: normal, wide angle and telephoto. The nature of thelenses> Focal length determined to be seen below. A zoom is simply a focal length may vary from wide angle to telephoto (or somewhere in between).
There are a number of things to do when buying a camera.
Lens focal length
The focal length of a lens determines the amount of vuew magnification and the angle to see the lens. The focal length is measured in mm. It isdetermined that the focal length when the lens is a:
- Wide-angle, low power, wide viewing angle. 20 mm to 35 mm
- Traditional or normal, 50mm
- TV, high magnification, angle-closure, 105mm to 300mm.
- Zoom, zoom, to change the zoom focal length zoom lens can be a focal length of 50mm and 150mm half.
Some lenses are interchangeable between the cameras and Digital camera, but you must be aware that the effective focal length to change between film and digital. focal lengths that I described above for the cameras and the film must be multiplied by 1.6 to get the effective focal length of a digital camera. So, with a 35mm lens on a film camera has an effective focal length of 56mm.
What does this mean for you? This means that you do not get that wide-angle lens on a digital camera as you would on a camera with the same> Lens. A 35mm lens, the camera has a wide angle, on average, a movie looks like a conventional lens of a camera
This is a complex issue, I can not go into too much detail. If you need help to talk about the best person would be resident expert or your local photo shop.
The intensity of light
"Speed" of a digital camera sets a goal. The speed of the specific stops and is comparable to the openingThe camera. Faster lenses are more expensive and usually heavier.
Shooting distance
This is the minimum distance from the lens of the camera, posed a question, it should focus on. Do not worry about having a camera to a minimum focal distance. Concentrate instead on a telephoto lens.
Advanced
More expensive lenses have more advanced features.
Vibration Reduction -. A feature called "RV" keeps images sharp whenShooting in low light conditions. They help to combat camera shake. Try feature is a digital camera with this lens.
- USM stands for Ultrasonic Motor. Function of canon lenses that give you a focused high-speed automatic, but the biggest advantage is the "engine" is almost silent in order not to disturb the people around you when you focus the camera.
- No filter. When you buy a half decent goal, should be a filter thread. This is a discussion thatIt can be mounted on a filter (eg a polarizer) to shoot from difficult situations. Even if you do not need filters now. It 's convenient to buy a lens with his son, so you can filter later.
You get what you pay
is generally more expensive the lens, the better. More expensive lenses usually have a greater number of glass elements of the lens, which makes them even more difficult.
Concluding remarks
AlthoughImportant to select the right camera lens for beginners, it is not as important as good composition. Do not fall into the trap of thinking can be a great picture with an expensive top-line lenses. Composite image badly not only look great lens of a camera.
I do not want to target the importance of quality. A good rule is to display only add to your goal if you have a specific need for a particularDigital camera lens.
Do your research and your homework and find the lens is suitable for you and your camera.
