After you cross over from the land of film and canisters to the more modern era of digital cameras, you will most likely want to buy yourself a digital camera lens. When you have multiple subjects or moving targets that you want to shoot, you will need very specific lenses. Know what you're looking for before you begin your search or you could end up with the wrong thing.
Each kind of lens has a specific function and purpose. When you buy a typical digital camera, it will come standard with a fixed lens. This kind of lens doesn't provide you with any special abilities. You can shoot pictures of objects that are within 30 mm of yourself and get ample quality. However, if you want to zoom in on a subject or get a wide perspective, you'll need to purchase a camera that allows you to change to a different lens. Normal lenses are great for the passive photographer. You don't need to worry about making any adjustments.
If you want to take photos of objects that are at a distance, you'll definitely want to go with a zoom lens. There are different levels of zoom lens; we'll discuss those in a bit. If you stick with a standard lens, you won't be able to see the little details. If you want to photograph anything with any clarity at a distance, you'll require a zoom lens.
Typical digital cameras come standard with a fixed zoom lens. This isn't a real zoom lens in the sense that most people think of lenses. In fact, you can't remove this kind of lens from your camera without rendering the camera useless. You can get some cute, spur of the moment shots but that's about it. When you are more than an average, once in a while photographer, you'll want more.
When you want to get action shots and be able to get real details from your images, you will probably want an optical zoom lens. An optical zoom lens will actually move from the camera and focus on an object. The larger the zoom lens, the further you can photograph a subject. You'll also find that the larger the lens, the greater the zoom. This is why you see paparazzi and other professional photographers with incredibly large zoom lenses.
One issue that photographers have had for a long time with zoom lenses is that they are quite cumbersome and often hard to handle. This often causes blurry photos and digital camera manufacturers have had to come up with ways to stop this problem. Most digital cameras have an anti shake feature that will help when using a zoom lens.
Most zoom lenses start around 25 mm and go up gradually in increments. You can find zoom lenses up to 250 mm in most retail locations and online. If you're looking for something stronger, you'll have to special order or consult a camera specialty shop. If you need it, they surely make it.
If you're not interested in controlling all aspects of the lens movement, you may want to look into prime lenses. These lenses offer quality photography and take care of a large majority of your photography concerns. However, they do not offer the same flexibility. Professional photographers prefer zoom lenses but if you don't feel like carrying a lot of lenses around, try a prime lens.
