The end of the lens which attaches to the camera body is called the bayonet (or mount). The lens bayonet is made to fit specific types and brands of cameras. Think of the bayonet as the key, and the camera as a lock. A zoom ring is what you turn to either zoom in or out with your lens. Label and define the parts on your diagram. Body‐Made of high grade plastic or metal; holds all parts together; provides protection to the delicate internal parts of the camera. Lens‐Lens Assembly is several layers of lenses of varying properties providing zoom, focusing, and distortion correction.

#1 - Standard LensesLet's kick things off with STANDARD lenses.Standard lenses have a mid-range focal length, somewhere around 50mm - but really anything between 40mm and 60mm. The most common focal length is the one that falls slap bang in the middle of that - the 50mm.This focal length on a full frame camera will give you roughly the same field of view as the naked eye - It’s not exact, but it’s a pretty good rule of thumb. Basically this means when you lift that camera to your eye, the scene won’t seem “zoomed in” or “zoomed out”, so it will look quite natural, and have no distortion.So, when would you use a standard lens?These are great all rounders, mainly because they most closely mimic what we can see naturally, so you don’t have to worry about it being the “wrong” lens for the job. #2 Telephoto LensesTelephoto lenses have a LONGER focal length, and they magnify the subject, allowing you to take photos of subjects that are farther away.Generally, a lens is considered telephoto with a focal range above 60mm, but you can probably further categorise a telephoto range into a “mid-range” telephoto which is around 70mm to 200mm, and then “super-telephoto” which is anything over 200m, like a 300mm or 400mm. (aka Paparazzi stalking territory)When would you use a telephoto lens?Because they can be quite cramped indoors, you are best to use a telephoto lens outside, especially when you have some distance between you and your subject.They are also incredibly flattering for portraits, as they slim down the face ever so slightly, and give great background blur, helping separate your subject from the background.(You know those images that look like their subject is 'popping' off the background?

That's usually down to using a telephoto)You’ll also use these for times when you simply can’t get too close to your subject, such as for shooting wildlife or sports.So here are some areas where a telephoto lens is damn useful:.Portrait Photography (particularly mid-range telephoto).Wildlife photography.Sports Photography.Astronomy.Where you want dreamy background blurAs the focal length goes up, so does the weight and size of the lens, so at the far end of the super telephoto range, you are going to need to use a tripod, or seriously increase your gym workouts. As a result, they are not that great for going on a long walkabout with, as they can get really heavy very quickly, and they can be cumbersome - especially if you have a zoom telephoto. #4 Macro LensesMacro lenses are for close up photography. They have a 1:1 ratio, which basically means they can capture your subject at life size magnification.So if you want to capture the teeny tiny little details of a flower, an insect or water droplets (or the details of anything else for that matter) then you’ll need a macro lens.That doesn’t mean you can ONLY use your macro lens for close up photography - the longer focal length and excellent sharpness and contrast means that they take supremely beautiful portraits too.

My macro lens gets used for both in equal measures making it a good all round purchase (or so I keep telling my husband)When would you use a macro lens?.Nature photography.Insect photography.Portrait Photography.Detail photography (eg ring shots if you shoot weddings)You can learn more about macro lenses, and how to choose one in this (along with some cheaper suggestions in case you don’t want to spend all your $$$ on a dedicated macro lens). #5 Prime LensesOnce you have an idea of the focal ranges of the different types of camera lenses, you then need to decide whether you are going for a fixed prime lens, or a zoom lens.Primes lenses are those that have a fixed focal length such as 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm and so on. They do not zoom in or out, so you have to physically move yourself closer or farther away from your subject.They generally can shoot a lower apertures, such as F1.8 or F2.0, and therefore are great lenses for letting in more light, and also for creating background blur, especially if you have a telephoto lens.Finally, prime lenses tend to give you sharper images, and better overall image quality than zoom lenses. #6 Zoom LensesZooms allow you to change through the whole focal range of the lens, just by turning the barrel, so you can zoom in and out to fill more or less of the screen.You can get either get a variable aperture zoom, where the maximum aperture will change whether you are zoomed in or out, or fixed aperture zoom lenses, where you can stay at the same aperture throughout the focal range.The benefits of a zoom is simply that you can get multiple focal lengths in one handy dandy lens!

NOW I’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!In the comments below, answer one or both of these questions:First, which of these focal lengths do you find yourself hankering after, and why?Second, what do you prefer to use - a zoom or a prime?Sharing your insight and inspiration might just help someone else find their own perspective on which lens is best for them, so don’t hold back:) Plus I always love to hear from you!As always, if you enjoyed this post, or think that others may benefit from it, please share!
