What does SLR zoom mean?

SLR zoom refers to the zoom function of SLR lens. The zoom function allows the lens to adjust the focal length at will within a certain range, thus enlarging or narrowing the target. Compared with fixed focus lens, the biggest advantage of zoom lens lies in its flexibility.

SLR zoom is one of the commonly used lens types in various photographic scenes.

Choosing a suitable SLR zoom lens needs to consider many aspects, such as brand, focal length and aperture. Generally speaking, well-known brands of lenses tend to have more stable optical performance and better after-sales protection; In the focal section, the wide-angle to medium-focus zoom lens is the most basic choice; In terms of aperture, theoretically, the larger the aperture, the better the performance of the lens in the dark environment, but it also means higher unit price. Considering their own needs and budget, users can choose the SLR zoom lens that suits them according to the actual situation.
