Camera Lenses3
// October 6, 2010
For those of you who have just started out on your photographic journey and have purchased your first DSLR camera, congratulations! The DSLR offers a flexibility not found on an average digital camera because you have the ability to change lenses, which allows for different kinds of imagery to be produced.
But with many types of lenses available, it is a very daunting task to decide on which one to use for specific situations, especially when it comes to cosplay events and photoshoots. So how does one start? Here’s a list of some of the different types of lenses available, which is by no means an exhaustive list.

i was going to say the same thing
You can’t make “prime lens” a separate thing from “Wide angle” or “fisheye;” prime isn’t a focal length! Prime can be wide angle or fisheye, or it can be telephoto, or it can be macro. And that wasn’t a macro picture. And this doesn’t even make a distinction between wide and tele zooms. This could make for a lot of misguided purchases.
