Quick Glance

Camera Mount

Max Focal Length The larger the Maximum Focal Length, the more a subject will be magnified. 'Standard' (similar to plain sight) is considered 50mm, although this will be slightly different in lenses intended solely for digital SLRs.

Lens Type Standard lenses return images that appear the same as plain sight. Telephoto lenses make distant subjects appear closer, but shrink the image area, whereas Wide Angle lenses allow for a wider frame, but smaller subjects. Zoom lenses return a range of more wide-angle effect to more telephoto effect -- they are named according to what effect the midpoint in the zoom range returns.
