Buying a new DSLR camera will eventually require you to purchase additional lenses for it. You will need them if your photography becomes more than just a hobby and you need to shoot in all sorts of genres - portraits, landscapes, still lifes, at different distances, with different lighting. That is, when you take up photography professionally.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose lenses based on the main parameters in which they differ - focal length and aperture. Choose the focal length depending on the scenes you intend to shoot. Lenses with a focal length of 13-28 mm usually shoot architecture, landscapes, interiors, and city holidays. A focal length of 35-58mm is the most versatile and common. Usually these lenses come with the camera. Optics with a large focal length of 105-200 mm are used for shooting distant objects - sports competitions, wild animals, groups of people at a distance. Lenses with a distance of more than 300mm are usually used for shooting in stadiums and during photography.
Step 2
Pay attention to the material from which the lenses are made. If you watch commercials demonstrating the advantages of any lens, you will understand that many manufacturers consider glass lenses to be the undoubted advantages of the camera. The explanation is simple - they are not as susceptible to mechanical damage (scratches) as, for example, plastic ones. Also, dust adheres to plastic lenses more quickly, check with your retailer if the lens you are buying has an Image Stabilizer. An important parameter that allows you to get clear pictures even with strong shaking. This is especially important if your camera itself is not equipped with a gimbal.
Step 3
Choose a lens for aperture. Aperture - the ability of the lens to transmit this or that brightness (illumination) of the image. The aperture depends on two values - the size of the hole in the lens and the focal length. Judge for yourself, if you put a pot of flowers right in front of an open window, and then half cover the window with a curtain and move the pot to the opposite wall - at what point will there be more light on it? Of course, when the pot is at the open window. Accordingly, the farther away the subject is, the more aperture is required in order to capture it. For example, for photography, use ultra-fast lenses - with a value greater than 1.4.
