Novice camera lens selection

Beginners must watch: understanding and selection of lens, one-minute lens literacy.

First, the lens brand

1. Original shot

The original lens refers to the matching lens produced by Canon Sony, Nikon, Fuji and other camera brands, and the price is relatively high.

2, deputy factory lens

Deputy factory lenses refer to lenses produced by other companies:

①: For example, riding a horse in Japan (usually the price is cheaper than the original factory, and the limited budget is also a good choice).

②: For example, German Zeiss, Lycra, etc. Usually the price is higher than the original factory, which is suitable for those in need.

Second, the lens classification

Zoom lens: the focal length can be changed, the shooting is flexible, the aperture is generally small, and both new and old hands can enter.

Fixed focus lens: fixed focal length, better image quality and large aperture, suitable for beginners.

Segmentation of lens focal length: in short, it is the division range of lens focal length, which is generally divided into super wide angle, standard angle, medium focus, medium telephoto, telephoto and super telephoto.

Below 20mm-super wide angle;

2 1mm-40mm- wide-angle lens;

4 1mm-60mm- standard lens;

6 1mm- 100mm- medium focal length lens;

101mm-180mm-medium telephoto lens;

18 1mm-300mm- telephoto lens;

Above 30 1mm-super telephoto lens.

Third, the lens selection

1. Take a portrait

General selection: 50mm, 85mm, etc. The fixed-focus lens has good imaging and high color reproduction, but it can't adjust the distance and is easy to run out of focus.

Shoot the scenery

Shooting theme: urban architecture, big environment, etc. Besides wide angle, it will also be used to shoot distant objects, such as starry sky and birds, which require telephoto lenses.

General lens selection: 16-35mm, 12-24mm, 35mm, 70-200 100-400, etc.

Advantages: super wide field of vision, good color reproduction, and spectacular shooting performance in large environment. Remote themes can also be well displayed.

Disadvantages: Wide-angle and telephoto are not suitable for beginners to take pictures and are difficult to master. Wide angle is easy to be distorted, but it is often tested by the environment.

Summary:

Wide-angle lens: 24-35mm focal length, suitable for shooting large scenes, such as buildings and gatherings.

Ultra-wide-angle lens: 17-24mm focal length, suitable for shooting vast scenery.

Standard lens: 45-50mm focal length, mostly used for ordinary scenery, ordinary portraits, snapshots, etc.

Telephoto lens: 75-200mm focal length, also called portrait lens, suitable for taking portraits, landscapes, tourist commemorative photos, etc.

Super telephoto lens: The focal length is more than 200mm, which is suitable for shooting the distant view.

Macro lens: At present, the mainstream macro lenses are 60mm, 90mm, 100mm, 105mm, 150mm, 180mm and 200 mm. Macro lenses are all fixed-focus lenses, which are used to shoot very fine objects, such as flowers and insects.

Fisheye lens: 1 1- 16mm focal length. The fisheye lens has a large depth of field, and the image taken with the fisheye lens has a great deformation and a strong sense of perspective convergence.
