Digital SLR photography is sometimes things can get a bit more complicated when, this is especially true, made when you first purchased your kit lens. You select a zoom lens, wide angle lens, fixed-focus camera, or even a fixed iris lens do? Well, don't worry about it too much because this article is here to show you.
Zoom Vs Prime
A zoom lens allows photographers to zoom in to is not surprising. Zoom lens advantage is the ability to create the perfect combination of subjects you to zoom in and out. Under this function, zoom lenses favored by most photographers, but zoom lenses typically have a higher f than the focal lens, and this means that they often leave little light into a picture, this will affect the shutter speeds are used.
The fixed-focus lens, on the other hand, you are not allowed and amplify you're limited to one focal length. You may think this sounds spammy, but there are many advantages in using a fixed-focus lens zooming. First, Prime lenses usually have a lower aperture value, part of which went to the F1.2 which means plenty of light into the camera's lens, it is particularly useful for low light situations.
Fixed iris or non-fixed
F stop beyond the values are briefly discussed, but just in case you don't know, let me explain a bit more detail. The lower the aperture, the more light can enter your camera while high at least light can enter the f-stop, two areas each have their uses.
Canon 70-200mm the fixed value of 2.8 by 2.8 throughout its zoom range of the lens, which means that can be achieved through the constant aperture. This is very useful when shooting Studio, and the reason is simple, iris control Flash, Canon 18-55mm power if the lens aperture is changed, for example, 3.5-5.6 and Flash intensity changes give you inconsistent results. If you can get it with a constant aperture lens.
Image stabilization
Some of the lenses and camera bodies, such as the Sony Alpha A350 with built-in image stabilization. Image stabilization allows you to a certain extent, no moving lower shutter speeds photograph. Image stabilization is very useful in some situations, but it can also be a waste of money. If you are shooting fast-moving images, then you may not need image stabilization, if you use a tripod as well.
Different focal lengths
Also, you will need to buy a new camera, taking into account the different focal length lenses. If you shoot Club photography or wildlife photography, chances are you will need something wider than 50 mm. So here I will explain the best type of lenses for different situations.
Wide angle lenses
As discussed above, most of the wide-angle lens for landscape photography, but they can also be used in Club photography there is not too much room to move. If money is not a Canon 16-35 2.8 lens is the best choice, which retails at around £ 1200. However, if money is an object then Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 lens is a good choice. Lack of build quality of the Canon Tamron, AF speed, but personally, I own this lens and image quality is very good. Dragon online can be picked up for around £ 300-400 GBP.
Medium-range lenses
Medium range is not too short, not too long; it is in the Middle, so the name media. The medium-range lens is an excellent image, model, or even a wedding photography. In this context is the best lens Canon 24-70 2.8 is lens is a favorite among many professional photographers. Lenses for the Canon 24-70 is an excellent, excellent build quality, however, the lens is very heavy, is very expensive but if you want to shoot a wedding then it is a must have tool for a little group.
A good alternative is the Sigma 2.8 24-70. Sigma provides the same focal lengths are not much cheaper. And Sigma is the best image quality, but experienced some owners focus problems, this can be fixed by Sigma, but it's worth mentioning just in case you do get this lens.
Telephoto zoom
If you want to shoot wildlife, sports or even glamor photography and a telephoto lens is something you'll want to invest in. Generally, these types of lenses are very expensive, but when we talk about photography in most things. If money is no object, then you will want to 70-200 mm 2.8 Canon lens.
70-200 2.8 is Canon by most professional photographers use expensive lenses, it offers impressive autofocus system and excellent build quality but again the shot is quite heavy. 2.8 If you don't need to be agile, and then you can go to the Canon 70-200mm F4 lens. This lens is not as heavy and in my opinion more clear image than 2.8 create.
Other lenses
There are many other types of lenses, including macro, tilt and shift, fish-eye and more but as a beginner, you will be more likely to interest the lenses mentioned above.
Choose your lens
Overall choice of the lens doesn't have to be a difficult experience. You choose to think about how you will use your camera, it will for wildlife photos, sports, portraits, or even shut down photography, and then you select the lens that you want. If you can afford a fixed iris lens, then go for it, I also recommend the lowest aperture you can afford, not only will this leave in more light, but it can also blur the background effects to your images, you see in most professional photos.
