Why do older photographers like to buy telephoto lenses?

Focus on it. Let's go Telephoto depends on twisting! Mainly flowers and birds! Complementary personalities!

1 is the limitation of subject matter. Most elderly photographers mainly shoot landscapes, flowers, birds and other animals, which are generally far away and can be zoomed in with telephoto lenses.

Second, the advantage of telephoto lens is to draw the subject closer, omit redundant objects and make the picture more distinct.

3 It's physical reasons. It's impossible to run around with heavy machines on your back when you are old. Putting the camera on the shelf and waiting for him can also take good photos.

The "problem" is not just some elderly photographers. In China, the proportion of elderly photographers is quite large.

Let's analyze the function of telephoto lens first, and then analyze the question "why do old photographers like telephoto lenses?"

long shot

The correct name of telephoto lens is; Long focal length lens, people who play photography usually know that a photographic lens with a focal length of 85mm-300mm is an ordinary telephoto lens, such as 85mm, 135mm, a fixed-focus lens of 200mm and a zoom lens of 70 mm-200 mm.

A lens over 300mm is a telephoto lens, and the photography circle is usually called a "pike". The telephoto lens is also called telephoto lens and telescope head. At present, the telephoto lenses commonly used by photographers are ordinary telephoto lenses of 70mm-200mm, and there are even old lenses of 70mm-2 10mm and 75 mm-300 mm. For example, Guo Xuwei of Canon, whose father is 70 mm-2 10 mm? M f/4 push-pull zoom lens. The telephoto lens and telescope lens commonly use 100mm-400mm, 150mm-600mm, 200mm-600mm, and the lens focal length is longer.

Grasp the key points; Because of the small angle of view, the scenery, movement and animals photographed with a long focal length lens are larger in detail and distance than the standard lens.

This paper does not mainly discuss the performance, perspective effect, viewing angle, spectral effect (analysis), optical effect, types and imaging quality of telephoto lenses, but only discusses the question raised by photographers: "Why do old photographers like to buy telephoto lenses?"

Of course, the discussion of this issue is only aimed at the love and preference of individual elderly photographers, and understand why they prefer telephoto lens photography.

Many people who like photography will see many elderly photographers capturing moving subjects with "long guns and short guns" in different shooting environments, such as shooting distant people, scenery, sports events, auto show models, large-scale stage performances, wild animals, birds and animals, etc. And older photographers use telephoto lenses more than wide-angle lenses and standard lenses? The telephoto lens can easily get the desired image data without being close to the subject, and the tripod support also solves the problem of shooting load.

For most elderly photographers; Whether shooting flowers or people with a telephoto lens, the blurring of "compression cutting" is very good, and it is also easy to get a picture of birds and the moon with a telephoto lens.

Is the use of "long guns" a great love of old photographers? Because the telephoto lens can adjust the size ratio of the picture, it can also abandon the influence of messy elements on the subject. The telephoto lens adopts zoom factor, which can enlarge the features of scenes and portraits and make the picture "lazy". There is no interference element and no "bird shooting" effect.

While enjoying the telephoto lens function, "careless shooting and lazy shooting" is one of the ways for old photographers to kill time.

Personal opinion for reference/@ About photography

Brother, just find a cool place to shoot flowers and birds for a day and communicate while shooting! A leisurely day has passed! Full of happiness!

Convenient composition, convenient snapshot, blurred background and convenient film making.

Old people have bad eyes. The telephoto lens can be seen clearly.

Not necessarily. In fact, many middle-aged and elderly photographers are ordinary lenses. When the questioner asks this question, it is estimated that it refers to those elderly people who like to shoot birds. Because many middle-aged and elderly people like to shoot birds, these cameras and lenses are relatively expensive. For example, a 1dx and a 600 lens cost about130,000, not to mention the tripod and other auxiliary equipment. Shooting birds requires not only financial support, but also strong physical strength and endurance.

In fact, many elderly people take an ordinary camera, a C-frame camera or even a micro-single. Old people have limited physical strength. Holding a light camera lens is just a hobby. They usually go out for a walk, take pictures of flowers and exercise. As for taking pictures, it's just a pleasure. Unlike many middle-aged and elderly photographers, some of them shoot with a purpose, such as portraits. These masters not only have model resources, but also shoot very frequently. Although there is no purpose, these photographers have a certain degree of photographic technology.

This is a false proposition! The questioner doesn't like telephoto lenses? I can't afford it, can I?

First, probably the telephoto lens looks very powerful and professional.

Second, the telephoto lens is suitable for shooting flowers and birds. These are the types of photography that older photographers prefer.

Third, elderly photographers don't like street shooting. I like to stand in one place and set up a tripod, ponder slowly, look for flowers and trees, and observe from a distance. The telephoto lens has become the best observation post!
