Having a variety of lenses available gives you the ability to take
the picture that you want to. The five types listed here will give
you the flexibility to get the shot you want in most situations.
21. Standard. A 50mm lens is the standard lens supplied with most
SLR cameras. These lenses should be used when you want to take a
picture that roughly equates to how you see a scene with the naked
eye.
22. Macro. Use a macro lens for close up shots. The classic example
of when to use a macro lens is when you are taking a close up picture
of a flower in the garden.
23. Wide angle. These lenses do just the job when you are looking
at a panoramic view. Useful for landscapes, groups of people and
certain types of architecture.
24. Zoom. A must have lens. Standard zoom lenses are 28-80mm, but
a wide variety of zoom lengths are available.
25. Telephoto. The "big brother" of the zoom lens. Use
telephoto lenses to get close up pictures when you are at a great
distance. Telephotos soon become rather heavy and camera support
is required.
