How far can a lens with a focal length of 200mm go?

200 birds is a luxury! Of course, there is no problem with pet birds. If the number of wild birds, especially those living in the wild, is at least 500, it is best to add a magnifying glass. Bird photography should be regarded as a kind of wildlife photography more or less, which requires high equipment.

Since you are a beginner, I suggest you don't be keen on shooting birds yet.

It is suggested that you can take pictures of landscapes and portraits first, which is a good way to get started. After playing for about 2 years, you will consider what is too long, fisheye, shifting axis and so on.

Some suggestions on purchasing equipment:

1, SLR can be very common, three or four thousand can be (now digital SLR updates quickly, consider the cost when getting started, and the cheap one can be. After a small success, you can choose a professional machine according to the actual situation, but you should consider which one to use, because different lens manufacturers are not universal, usually Canon and Nikon. As for this, you can check it online and make a good comparison.

2. The lens can be luxurious. If the economy permits, you can consider buying a zoom lens. For example, if you choose a Canon machine, you can put a red circle of 24 mm-70 mm directly. If it doesn't sound good, you don't have to use it, so in order to avoid repeated investment, you can consider putting it directly on the bull's head.

3, the header is very important, in fact, the header is the most commonly used, it is best to enlarge the header. Don't get poisoned just because you read the words on the internet to promote focus setting. Fixed focus is better than zoom in imaging quality, but the problem is that the fixed focus cost is too high. Moreover, the so-called improvement of imaging quality is of no value to novices. For example, will your photos be published as print advertisements? Are you going to take part in the photo contest and win the prize in the near future? Do you take pictures of stars or models? You'll be fine, so you can enlarge the photo to dozens of inches and hang it all over the wall like a wedding photo, right? Will you buy another film machine ready to discharge the film from it at any time? Obviously, these are basically not what a beginner amateur will do. Then zoom is more suitable for you.

4, zoom is very affordable, the reason is actually just said, in fact, the top zoom is excellent in imaging quality, even better than some cheap garbage fixed focus.

5, supporting equipment is very important. In fact, in photography, many supporting equipment is sometimes more important than the camera lens itself, such as a tripod. If it is a night scene, it is necessary. The film quality of the starter+dog head+tripod is far better than the flagship fuselage without tripod+bull head. There are many choices for tripods, ranging from dozens to thousands. Cheap garbage can be counted. As for the selection criteria, it is the word "stable". If you have no perceptual knowledge about this, go to a photographic equipment store, first look at dozens or a hundred tripods, shake them by hand, and then try thousands, you will have a more intuitive understanding. Generally, a tripod around 700 is basically passable, such as Bainuo's. The choice of Yuntai is also particular. Generally, three-dimensional tables and tables are the most common, and the operation of three-dimensional tables is more troublesome, but more reliable. The desk is easy to operate, but it is not suitable for telephoto lenses, because telephoto lenses, including the lens head of 200, are generally fixed with the lens instead of the fuselage. If the fuselage is big, the table is still not at ease. In addition, there is a flash, which is also very important. The ideal light is not always available, and it often needs to be supplemented. Used properly, you can make high-quality films anytime and anywhere. It is best to provide it with a hot shoe flash line, wired, and don't try wireless flash for the time being. The resulting light changes will make your film professional. Another small thing is necessary, that is, the release of wireless cable, which is very important. It is very useful to take portraits and night scenes, and the price is not expensive. Even the original products are only from 200 yuan, so don't consider wireless.

With these, you can actually make professional films. Whether you can do this depends entirely on your personal soft power! I wish you an early academic success!
