The choice of the lens is no less important than the choice of the camera itself. Beginner photographers simply run wild - there is too much choice of lenses. Do not get lost, but choose exactly what is required for the ideas and ideas of your photography.
Instructions
Step 1
Many cameras are already sold with so-called "kit" lenses. This budget option is perfect for the very beginners. After all, the difference between a "carcass" and a device with a lens in the kit will be only a couple of hundred rubles. But when, over time, you reach a higher level in your technique, then most likely you will want to change the lens to some other one.
Step 2
Among themselves, lenses are divided into fixed and zooms, standard, television and wide-angle. They are also divided into high-aperture and low-aperture. Well, and, undoubtedly, they differ in cost - there are budget and professional ones. You should not chase expensive equipment, as a rule, it will be very difficult to notice the difference between shots of a budget lens and a professional lens.
Step 3
If you want to buy a pair of lenses for all occasions, then they should be with different focal lengths, but preferably with a fixed one. This is not to say that zooms are bad, but professionals opt for the first option. There are no bad lenses, just one of them is the best for every moment.
Step 4
For close-up portraits, choose a lens with a focal length of 105 mm, for waist-length portraits - 70 -85 mm, full-length - 50 mm. Wide-angle lenses are considered the best for landscape photography, although you can get quite a beautiful picture with 50mm.
Step 5
Macro photography will allow you to shoot various insects, in other words, you can shoot something very small close-up. For such purposes, it is better to choose a lens with a focal length of 300 mm or more. The main thing is more practice and hard work, and then with any one lens you can create real masterpieces.
