Selection of SLR Lens

Many people will have a question after starting with SLR camera. An SLR with which lenses can meet the needs of shooting. If you buy less, you are afraid of not enough; If you buy more, you are afraid of waste. There is a saying that any lens can shoot any subject matter. But for most people, they do not have this ability. The choice of lens has become a big problem.

Generally speaking, the set lens of 24 mm-105 mm is a relatively easy-to-use travel lens, which is very convenient for daily shooting and film connection.

At least which lenses an SLR is equipped with depends more on what purpose it is used for.

For example, shooting scenery requires ultra-wide angle and telephoto. Portrait shooting requires fixed focus. You can buy a 14-24 ultra-wide-angle fixed focus view first. Then choose 35 mm, 50 mm, 85 mm fixed focus to shoot portraits. When it comes to portrait shooting, we have to mention the classic 85 mm focal length. 85 mm has been a classic portrait lens. It looks good both for a big head photo and a bust.

There are many names for 50 fixed focus. However, 50 mm is a lens that can be near or far away and is not easy to shoot. However, if shooting indoors, it is better to use a 50 mm lens or a wider lens. 50 mm is also a common lens for humanistic themes, film connection, etc. 135 mm F1.8 is also a very good lens, which is very good for outdoor portrait shooting.

If landscape shooting is the main thing, it is recommended to have a 16 mm-35 mm lens to solve the problem of ultra-wide-angle shooting. At the same time, the ultra-wide angle is close to some main bodies or accompanying bodies, and the effect is very good.

All kinds of flowers and plants are also a very important subject in photography. What kind of lens is suitable for shooting flowers and plants? For beginners, the most suitable is long zoom. Although macro lens is suitable for shooting flowers, macro shooting is not easy to master due to its high technical requirements. Generally, lenses above 200 mm are telephoto. The suggestion is to buy a zoom lens above 300 mm. The focal length of 70-200 is used for portrait shooting. Although its image quality is better, its focal length is shorter. Besides, 70-200/2. 8 is heavy and expensive. Therefore, zoom lenses above 300 mm are more recommended, such as 70-300 and 100-400. This kind of lens has a much wider range of subjects.

But everyone has their own shooting habits, so their thoughts will be different.

Some people think that the more the better. Different brands of cameras also have different types of lenses. The complete variety enables them to face all kinds of situations. At the same time, they can continue their enthusiasm for photography. Some people think that there should be no more than 3 lenses, otherwise the probability of falling ash will be greatly increased. If you want 3 lenses to shoot as many types as possible, standard zoom + medium focus fixed focus + telephoto is a good choice. However, you should be cautious with special lenses.
