What lenses should be selected for beginners?

Different lenses will make you have different works, whether it is composition, quality or even use, will bring great difference. This will explain the pros and cons of different lenses, and then let you make appropriate trade-offs.

　　

　　

　　

What should you consider when buying a camera?

In the absence of any restrictions, photography enthusiasts certainly want to have all the shots. However, in the limited space and financial resources, we often can only choose the most suitable for their own shooting habits of the lens, consider the following factors?

1 Gio (for example, if you love to shoot a bird, consider whether the camera is long enough to shoot a bird, or whether the landscape is wide enough to consider)

2 aperture (for example, the location of the camera is dim, or need to be shallow enough to highlight the subject)

3 format support (including whether the film is applicable, whether there will be a black-cape, or whether the link is appropriate; or whether to support autofocus)

4 Special functions (such as moving axis mirror, macro mirror or fish glasses, etc.)

5 weight (some lenses can not even hold the shot, must be supported by the tripod)

6)? price

After taking into account the above major factors, you may also take into account the quality, shape, brand and even other special features, the following is a few of the main lenses of the classification for you to purchase the reference:

Fixed Gio vs Zoom Mirror

The characteristics of a fixed Gio?

1) Fixed focal length, so to change the composition, only by the photographer to move themselves.

2 lenses less, generally lighter and better quality, often have a larger aperture, such as f/1.8 or more.

The characteristic of changing Gio?

1 the focal segment is variable and the composition elasticity is higher.

2 lenses more, so generally heavier, and the quality will drop, the largest aperture is usually f/2.8 around.

With the continuous progress of technology, the principles are changing, for example, the quality of some of the latest zoom mirrors has been able to compete with the fixed-focus mirror, and it has also appeared. Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 's big aperture zoom mirror Special case, so this is only a reference. However, there are still many differences in weight, it is necessary to pay more attention to the choice.

　　

The fixed-focus mirror has only one focal segment, the above figure is 50mm

　　

The focal segment of the variable Gio is a range of values, above this one is 70-200mm

Wide-angle lens vs Telephoto Mirror

The characteristics of wide-angle lenses?

1 wide view, more for landscape photography, the future will have exaggerated effect, the edge of the photo may appear distorted image.

2 lenses are usually less, light lenses, generally hand-held shooting can, and some prices are quite cheap.

The characteristics of the telephoto mirror?

1 The view is narrow, but can take a distant scenery such as birds, and the perspective will appear pressure, that is, the foreground and background things seem to become closer to the depth of light.

2 lenses more, lens heavier, the longer focal length such as 500, 600mm, often need to support the tripod, the price is also quite high.

As mentioned earlier, science and technology continue to progress, shockproof technology, etc. in the promotion, or even appear such as? Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3? Can be hand-held photography of the telephoto lens, but most importantly, do not be "general use" of the limited, wide-angle lens can be used to shoot wild animals, and telephoto lens is also to shoot landscapes, but the composition and visual effects are different, flexible use is the right way.

Original Mirror vs. Assistant Factory Mirror

OEM mirrors are camera manufacturers such as Nikon, Canon and Sony lenses for their own cameras. The mirror is a manufacturer other than these manufacturers, such as Tamron, Samyang, for use on other brand fuselage lenses.

As long as the link to the corresponding, auxiliary factory lens is also a good choice. Auxiliary mirror advantage is generally cheaper than the original, or even about half the price, in recent years, the quality of the mirror has been continuously upgraded, even to the original factory level? (for example, is particularly expensive?) Zeiss Touit, very high quality).

The downside is that there may be compatibility issues, such as the new fuselage may not support the old assistant mirror, resulting in the inability to focus automatically. After all, it is also necessary to pay attention to the possibility of competition in the lens market for different companies. Others feel that the original fuselage with the original mirror more beautiful/complete, this psychological factor is quite common.

The choice of lens includes not only the time of purchase, but also what kind of lens you will consider when you go out for a trip or take a photo. How many do you want to bring? As the basic concept says, we need to take into account the use of lenses and weight, such as with more than one, we should consider whether there is enough time to change the mirror, but also to consider if there is not enough physical strength.

In special cases (such as filming campaigns), the photographer will even take two cameras or more to change the camera instead of changing the lens to capture the fleeting picture. In any case, sometimes the choice is not the lens, but our endless greed for the image, hoping to shoot everything down, so all the shots are bought, and may end up with no income, which is a lot of people's common experience.
