With the sudden boom in the field of photography, camera companies have started giving us even more options to choose from. Photography initially confined itself only to professionals who needed it. Eventually, the definition changed and the usage of cameras has become more common. Now, more and more people are keen on possessing a professional camera. Whether you are an enthusiastic tourist or an inquisitive student, an ambitious professional or an amateur teenager each one of us wants to try our hands at this art. Don’t we? Digital photography has made this easier and Canon has come up with a galore of different types of lenses aiming at different necessities – spoiling you for choice.
What does Canon have in store?
Let us find out what the different kinds of lenses are. To cater to varying needs, Canon has different types of lenses. To begin with, let us get an idea of the kinds and the purposes they serve.
Canon has Standard Lenses that cater to the needs of beginners. Likewise, there are Zoom Lenses. These lenses have an advantage. You need not perpetually change the lenses to focus at varying focal points. One zoom lens is enough for all of them.
Canon has an array of Telephoto Lenses. As the name suggests, Telephoto Lenses help in focusing at the subject ignoring the backdrop. On the contrary, Canon also has Wide-Angle Lenses. These lenses focus on a wide area capturing a wide subject in the frame.
To make it even better, there are Super Telephoto Lenses, and Telephoto Zoom Lenses to shoot the required subject better. Similarly, to make the wide-angle shots better there are Ultra-Wide Zoom Lenses. Canon has a special Fish-Eye Zoom Lens. The specialty of this lens is that the picture not only covers a wide area but also generates a picture with a distortion that exactly looks like a fish eye.
Another important kind of lens that Canon sells is, Macro Lens. These lenses help in capturing intricate details where the subjects can be keenly observed. They help in giving you the minute details of the subject without having to compromise with the sharpness of the image.
How to choose?
Now that you are aware of the categories, answer a simple question, “What am I buying a lens for?” If your purpose is to capture candid moments or if it is just to get the hang of photography, the Standard and Standard Zoom lenses would do. Now if your purpose is to shoot panoramic views or landscapes, Wide-Angle, Ultra-Wide Zoom or for that matter, even Fish-Eye Zoom lens would do the trick.
If your interest lies in capturing portraits, then choose Telephoto lens. If one wants to bring out the details in every subject, or if one want to study the intricacies of anything, Macro Lens will do it all!
