How to match the camera and lens

The first lens of many SLR users is the standard zoom lens of 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 (35mm equivalent focal length is 28-85mm). Canon, Nikon, Pentax and other camera manufacturers all sell this kind of 3 times zoom lens from wide angle to medium telephoto as a camera supporting lens. This is because the lens has three advantages: small size, portability and cheapness, and it is undoubtedly the best choice for cheap general-purpose lenses. In addition, some manufacturers will use 18-70mm lens (35mm equivalent focal length 28- 105mm) as the supporting lens.

2. Another option for the first shot:

1) Zoom lens with large zoom ratio.

Another option for the first lens is a zoom lens with a large zoom ratio, such as 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3(35mm equivalent focal length is 28-300mm). This zoom lens with 1 1 times can't complete all the tasks well (you have to accept a certain degree of sharpness reduction and a smaller maximum aperture value), but this lens is the best choice for taking care of all the shooting tasks with one lens when traveling. In addition, it is also the best choice for some SLR users who are unwilling to change lenses, so as to avoid the problem of dust entering the photosensitive elements.

For example.

Nikon18-200mm f/3.5-5.6g if-edaf-s dxvr

APS-C: Compared with the lens of the sub-factory, it has better optical quality, optical anti-shake and more expensive price.

Olympus18-180mm f/3.5-6.3 Zuiko Digital

Special lens for 3/4 system.

Sigma18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC

APS-C: Good optical quality and low price under small aperture.

Sigma18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC

APS-C: The price is lower, the optical quality is better, but the telephoto end is shorter.

Tenglong18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD aspheric IF AF

APS-C: There are some defects in optical quality, but it is still a good choice for large zoom lenses. 18-250mm is a better choice.

Tenglong 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II LD aspheric medium frequency macro autofocus

APS-C: There are some inherent defects of large zoom lens, but it is an excellent large zoom lens on the whole.

2) Lens suitable for indoor use and dark photography: large aperture zoom lens.

If you want to take portrait photos indoors or at dusk, or take wedding photos, the best choice is a large aperture zoom lens such as 17-50mm f/2.8 (35mm equivalent focal length is 27-80mm). A constant large aperture of 2.8 is an important condition to ensure successful photography in dark conditions such as dusk or indoors. In addition, indoor photography also needs enough wide-angle coverage.

For example.

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 is USM.

APS-C: Good optical quality and high price. Small field lens.

Canon ef17-40mm f/4L USM

35mm: Excellent optical quality, moderate price, and the maximum aperture ratio is one grade smaller than 17-55mm f/2.8.

Nikon 17-55 mm f/2.8 g ED IF AF-S DX Nikkor

APS-C: Another expensive lens with excellent optical quality. Small field lens. Edge deformation and color difference are relatively large.

Olympus14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Digital

3/4: The price is reasonable.

Sigma18-50mm f/2.8, except DC.

APS-C: Good optical quality and moderate price.

Tenglong 17-50 mm f/2.8 Di II LD aspheric if autofocus

APS-C: excellent optical quality.

Although these two types of lenses are more expensive than headphones, in the long run, buying them can save repeated investment in upgrading at the same focal length.

3. Super wide-angle zoom: small space and big scenery

If you often take indoor photos and like to take photos of children playing indoors and the whole family eating around the dining table, then the super wide-angle zoom is like1118mm, 12-34mm, 10-20mm (35mm equivalent focal length/kloc

For example.

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

APS-C: The lens with the best optical quality in this focal length is moderately priced.

Nikon 12-24 mm f/4G IF AF-S DX Nikkor

APS-C: Durable, excellent optical quality, a little expensive.

Olympus 7- 14 mm f/4 Zuiko digital camera

3/4: Excellent optical imaging.

Sigma10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM

APS-C: Very small and light. Good optical quality and reasonable price. At 10mm, the edge color difference is obvious.

Tenglong11-18 mm f/4.5-5.6 di ii LD aspheric IF SP AF.

APS-C: Small, light and reasonable in price.

4. Super telephoto lens: bird photography, outdoor photography, sports photography.

If you like shooting birds, you like sports photography. Then 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 or 200-500 f/5-6.3 will be the best choice. Because these lenses are heavy, it is best to have a tripod at the same time. (If you want better optical quality, consider 200 mm f/2,300 mm f/2.8,300 f/4. )

For example.

Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L is USM.

35mm: Excellent lens with heavy weight.

Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED AF VR Nicole

35mm: The definition of telephoto end will be reduced. good play

tamron 200-500mm f/5-6.3 Di LD IF SP AF

35mm: high definition and light weight.

5. Volkswagen's choice: telephoto zoom lens

80-200mm or 70-200mm focal length. This kind of lens is used to shoot distant objects, which has great diversity in photographic subjects and teaches telephoto lenses to be smaller and lighter. Some lenses also provide macro shooting capability with a magnification of 1/2.

For example.

1) Cheaper option:

Canon EF 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II USM

35mm: After reducing the aperture, the general optical quality can be achieved, which is a cheap choice. The sharpness of 200mm is still very low even if the aperture is reduced.

Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Nikkor

APS-C: good optical quality.

Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX VR Nicole

APS-C: VR is increased on the basis of 55-200, and the optical quality is better.

Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG macro APO

35mm:f/8 has good optical quality and low price.

Tenglong 70-300mm f/4-5.6 dild macro1:2af

35mm: Low price and good optical quality.

Tenglong 70-300mm f/4-5.6 LD macro 1:2 AF

35mm: Excellent optical quality, high definition, relatively high chromatic aberration, flat image field and little distortion in the range of 70-200.

Olympus 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko digital camera

3/4: Good optical quality.

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM APO

35mm: the definition of f/2.8 is average, and the definition of f/4 becomes very high.

6. telephoto macro lens: close-up and portrait photography.

If you like close-ups and portrait photography, a macro lens with a magnification of 1: 1 is your best choice. With the large aperture of f/2.8, this focal lens can better blur the background and avoid the influence of wide-angle lens on the exaggerated perspective of human facial features, so it is also a good portrait photography lens. (If you like portrait photography, you can also consider 85 mm f/ 1.4/ 1.2, 105 mm f/2,135mm f/2; A large number of excellent professional photographers will also take 180mm, 200mm or longer lenses as the first choice for portrait photography.

For example.

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro USM

35mm: undistorted, high-definition lens.

Nikon 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR mini nicol

35mm: undistorted, high-definition lens. Focusing speed is faster than AF version, and VR is helpful at the magnification of 1: 2.

Nikon 105mm f/2.8D autofocus mini-Nicole camera

35mm: undistorted, high-definition lens.

Sigma 70mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro

35mm: Very sharp lens, equivalent focal length 100mm, suitable for portrait photography.

7. Universal lens, wide-angle zoom lens with large aperture.

Multipurpose lens on 35mm camera: 28-75mm f/2.8. On a small field camera, the equivalent focal length is 44- 1 16mm, which is very suitable for reporting and sweeping streets. If this focal length is suitable for your theme, then the following four lenses are excellent.

Canon EF 24-70 mm f/2.8 liter USM

Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8 SD IF AF-S Nikkor

Sigma 24-70 mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
