How to choose a lens

Photography covers a wide range of categories, including landscape photography, documentary photography, portrait photography, wildlife photography, macro photography and so on. Different types of photography need different lenses. When buying a lens, we need to think according to the subject I like or am good at shooting.

Because such a lens has a higher utilization rate. But many friends who like photography but are just getting started don't know how to choose the lens. Below, Bian Xiao will share with you the most common 10 photography category. What kind of lens will be more suitable?

1. What lens is used for portrait photography?

Portrait photography generally uses 85mm-50mm-35mm, and these three portraits have their own uses. If you want to make the photos more professional and of better quality, you only need to choose one of them to enjoy the fun of photography. Common aperture options are F 1.8, 1.4, 1.2, and the price is sold according to the aperture size.

For half machine, the coefficient of Canon is 1.6, and that of Nikon is 1.5. Friends who want 50 mm effect can choose 35mm, and friends who want 85mm effect can choose 50mm. The fixed focus with three large apertures can bring a very interesting photography experience. You can try it!

Second, what lens is used for natural scenery?

Natural scenery photography is generally two shooting methods, including wide-angle lens and ultra-wide-angle lens. All lenses with focal length less than 35mm are wide-angle, and lenses with focal length less than 16mm are super wide-angle lenses.

16-35mmF2.8 in Canon's common ternary is a very useful portrait and landscape lens. Wide-angle lens uses distortion to stop stretching scenery or buildings, which is more magnificent and spatial!

3. What lens is used for documentary photography?

As we all know, the golden focus of humanistic documentary is 35mm.

You can choose a 35mm fixed-focus lens or a zoom lens with a focal length of 24-70.

There are three reasons for choosing a fixed focus:

First, it is conducive to cultivating my sense of lens, which is more helpful for composition or blind shot;

Second, I can concentrate more on shooting myself, and I won't spend more time on changing the focal length;

Third, in terms of image quality, fixed-focus lenses are usually better than zoom lenses.

The zoom lens can shoot some other themes, such as landscapes and portraits, and can also shoot documentaries from different perspectives, depending on your needs.

4. What lens is used for commercial photography?

As a photographer, especially a freelance photographer, you should be familiar with all kinds of shooting, and of course you should easily handle the activity shooting. There are some interval restrictions or light restrictions in ordinary activity shooting, so a large ternary lens like 70-200mm is very important!

The aperture is large enough, and the coverage of the focal segment is wide. Although the price is expensive, the lens quality is not worse than the fixed focus, and the quality is also very good. 7.8 years is not a problem. If there is really a need to shoot such subjects, it is understandable to buy such a telephoto lens!

5. What lens is used for macro photography?

Many people don't understand macro photography, and they won't understand it. After all, it's not just any photo. An ordinary macro lens with a magnification of 2: 1 or 1: 1 can be called macro. Take Canon's best 100mmF2.8, 1: 65438. Of course, if you only pat occasionally, you can add some rangefinders to shoot some small animals!

6. What lens is used for bird photography?

As for taking pictures of birds, lens selectivity is becoming more and more important. You can choose 70-200 lens to shoot some birds that are not afraid of people. The most important thing is to choose some lenses with long focal length. Not every bird is not afraid of people, and it is overbearing to keep a considerable distance from birds. 100-400mmF4.5-5.6 is more suitable for shooting birds in the wild, provided you have this preference. This kind of lens is not cheap, and it is better to be cautious occasionally!

Seventh, what lens is used for tourism photography?

Suppose you like traveling and want to stay on the trip back to Yi, then the zoom lens will be more suitable for you. Like a 24-70mm lens, it has both a wide angle end and a telephoto end. Or 18-200mm lens, which can be touched from wide angle to telephoto, and is more suitable in light.

Eighth, what lens is used in architectural photography?

Using a wide-angle lens and a 24-35mm medium focal length lens, photographers can photograph buildings at close range or indoor spaces. The wide-angle lens can stop shooting at close range where the medium-focus lens cannot be used. But in fact, using super wide-angle shooting at close range will produce dramatic perspective effect and broad scene. Of course, this effect is very popular when architectural photographers invent exaggerated effects. To achieve this effect, the camera should be close to the building when shooting. In this way, with a wide-angle lens, exaggerated and distorted architectural photos will be invented. This auspicious shooting effect belongs to the artistic side of architectural photography, which is used to impact the visual effect, but it is not necessarily the real image of the building.

Ninth, what shot does the street shoot at night?

Wide-angle lens can be used to stop street shooting. Ordinary wide-angle lenses have a focal length of 24mm-38mm, and there are ultra-wide-angle lenses with a focal length of13 mm-20 mm. The shorter the focal length, the wider the picture the lens can contain, so the wide-angle lens is very suitable for stopping street shooting in complex streets.

Tenth, what lens does the auto show model use?

Auto shows generally have two lenses, with a medium focus of 24-70mm/2.8 and a telephoto of 70-200mm/2.8. Because we have to keep a certain distance from the model, it is difficult to take close-ups of people with a medium-focus lens. If we get too close, it will disgust the model. Telefocus is used by many people at the auto show. It can take close-ups of models and reduce background interference.

Well, the above is the lens selection of portrait photography, natural scenery, documentary photography, activity commercial photography, macro photography, bird photography, tourism photography, architectural photography, street shooting night scene, auto show model and 10 photography shared by Bian Xiao. I hope I can help you!
