Telephoto Lens A telephoto lens is a type of camera lens with a long focal length that enables photographers to capture distant subjects with magnified detail and narrow angles of view. Telephoto lenses have a focal length greater than 50mm and typically range from 85mm to 600mm or longer. They are commonly used in wildlife photography, sports photography, portrait photography, and landscape photography to bring distant subjects closer, isolate subjects from their surroundings, and create compressed perspectives. Telephoto lenses produce shallow depth of field, making them ideal for achieving selective focus and creating dramatic, visually compelling images with blurred backgrounds. |
