Study of digital lens
There are different types of lenses. Camera lenses can be broken down into two types, zoom lenses and prime lenses. Zoom lenses The most popular zoom lenses being the 70-200 mm lens. It allows our photograph both close up and in the distance. Prime lenses Prime lenses have a fixed focal range, which means that we can't zoom in or out. The main advantage of prime lenses is that they specialise in just one focal length. At a result, prime lenses produce much higher quality images than a zoom lens in general.
