Choosing the Perfect Camera Lens

High-performance camera lenses are a vital part of your camera system. When it comes to equipment, few things affect image quality as much as the optical quality of the camera lens you’re using. Good lenses are a worthy investment for any photographer and, if properly cared for, may serve you well for years and years.

How to Choose the Perfect Camera Lens

Before you buy a camera lens, you’ll need to think about the types of images you want to create, and how you prefer to shoot. Different camera lenses yield differing levels of creative freedom. Deciding whether you want to shoot landscapes, portraits or macro can therefore have a big impact on your lens purchasing decision.

Two key characteristics to look out for when buying a camera lens are the focal length and the maximum aperture.

A shorter focal length offers a wider field of view with less magnification (ideal for landscapes) while a longer focal length has a narrower field of view and higher magnification (ideal for wildlife). A lens with zoom capability (e.g. 24-70mm) offers convenience and versatility, allowing you to change your field of view without changing your physical position—or the lens. Fixed or prime (i.e. non zoom) lenses (e.g. 35mm), on the other hand, are typically sharper and faster (see below) and, because they require the photographer to move (or change lenses) to change their field of view, often encourage more creative approaches.

As for aperture, a lens’ maximum aperture value (marked on the lens barrel in f-stops) indicates how bright or ‘fast’ the lens can go; the smaller the f-stop number, the more light the lens can let through, and the faster and more usable it is in low light situations. 

Whether you’re a photography novice or you’re looking to step up to a more elite piece of kit, our website offers plenty of info and tips to help you decide which camera lens to buy. Still not sure what camera lens you need? Call CameraPro on 1300 431 431 for trusted and helpful advice.
