CAMERA LENS

CAMERA LENS 

 A camera lens is one of the most important parts of a camera. It is the eye of the camera, helping to focus light onto the image sensor to create a clear picture. Without a lens, a camera cannot take a photo. Different lenses are used to capture different types of photos, depending on the subject, distance, and lighting.

There are many types of lenses. Standard lenses are commonly used for everyday photography because they produce natural-looking images. Wide-angle lenses have a larger field of view, which means they can capture more in one frame. These are great for landscapes or group photos. Telephoto lenses help you zoom in on faraway subjects, like animals or sports players, without moving closer. Macro lenses are used for taking close-up photos of small things, like flowers or insects, showing tiny details clearly.

Lenses are often described by their focal length, which is measured in millimeters (mm). A lower number like 18mm is wide-angle, while a higher number like 200mm is telephoto. Some lenses have a fixed focal length (called prime lenses), while others can zoom in and out (called zoom lenses).

 Another key part of a lens is the aperture, which controls how much light enters the camera. A lens with a wide aperture (like f/1.8) lets in more light and is good for low-light conditions and creating a blurry background effect (called “bokeh”).

In summary, camera lenses help control the way photos look. Choosing the right lens allows a photographer to be more creative and capture the world in different and interesting ways. Whether you’re shooting a wide landscape, a close-up insect, or a faraway mountain, there’s a lens made just for that.
