  • Macro Lenses: Allow you to capture close-up details of small subjects, widely used in product, nature, and scientific photography.
  • Telephoto Lenses: Offer a narrow field of view to focus on distant subjects, essential for wildlife and sports photographers.
  • Zoom Lenses: These lenses adjust their focal length to magnify subjects without changing the camera?s position, making them versatile for shooting travel and event photography. In contrast, primes have a single, fixed focal length and are usually faster, smaller, and lighter than zooms, which offer the versatility of multiple focal lengths but are larger, heavier, and slower.
  • Tilt-Shift Lenses: Provide control over perspective and depth of field, often used in landscape and architectural photography.
  • Creative Effects Lenses: Designed to add artistic effects to your photos, these lenses are great for experimental photography
