The camera lens is also known as a photographic lens is an optical lens used in conjunction with a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on photographic film or on other media capable of storing an image chemically or electronically. The lens is what focuses light from what you see through the viewfinder into a tiny, 35mm spot on the back of your film, DSLR, or mirrorless camera. If you remove the lens from your camera, the only kind of image you can produce is white light.
In today’s article, we will talk about the price of a camera lens and where to purchase it. there are many types of camera lenses in Ghana. we will be looking at a few of them and their specification.
TYPES OF CAMERA LENS
1. Normal/standard lens
The standard lens has a fixed focal length (50mm, 85mm, 100mm), and reproduces fairly accurately what the human eye sees – in terms of perspective and angle of view.
2. wide-angle lens
it helps capture a comparatively wider angle of view. A wide-angle lens is a natural choice for capturing outdoor landscapes and group portraits.
3. telephoto lens
this provides a narrow field of view. with its long lens, it enables to compress a distance to capture objects from far. it also has very good wildlife, portrait, sport, and documentary type of photography.
4. zoom lens
it has a variable focal length and it is very useful.
