What lens should I use to shoot the distant view?

Use a telephoto lens for long-distance shooting.

A long focal length lens refers to a photographic lens whose focal length is longer than that of a standard lens. Telefocal lenses are divided into ordinary telephoto lenses and ultra-telephoto lenses. The focal length of ordinary telephoto lens is close to that of standard lens, while the focal length of ultra telephoto lens is much larger than that of standard lens.

Take 135 camera as an example, the photographic lens with a focal length of 85 mm-300 mm is a normal telephoto lens, and the lens with a focal length of more than 300 mm is a super telephoto lens.

Extended data:

A telephoto lens has a long focal length, a small viewing angle and a large image on the negative. Therefore, at the same distance, you can take larger images than the standard lens. Suitable for shooting distant objects.

Because its depth of field is smaller than the standard lens, it can blur the background more effectively and highlight the focused subject, and the subject is generally far away from the camera, which makes the portrait more realistic in perspective, so people often call the telephoto lens a portrait lens.

The telephoto lens is often used in professional photography because of its long lens barrel, heavy weight, relatively expensive price and small depth of field, and it is difficult to focus in practical use.
