Assignment 5

Lenses 

Wide-angle- this lens has a very wide angle of view, which allows you to work very close to your subject and still include it all in the frame.

Zoom- has a range of focal lengths. Eg. 18-55mm 


Long focus- makes distance objects look larger for magnifying  

Telephoto-  this has a very narrow angle of view.

 Retro-focus- A wide angle lens with the front element is negative rather then positive which is found in most wide angle lenses.

 Quasi fish-eye- full frame, this creates a rectangle photo.

 True fish-eye- Creates images with a slightly curved or bowed appearance, and a field of view that covers up to 180 degrees.

 Catadioptric- it uses refraction and reflection to reduce the physical length of the lens.

 Macro- highly magnifies subjects and has the ability to achieve sharp close up focus.   

Teleconverter- it is connected between the lens and the camera body and it magnifies the effect of the lens that you are using. 

Supplementary- used to increase the magnification, it’s a cheap way to start Marco photography.  

PC or tiltshift- changes the lens imaging circle in relation to the sensor, it gives the photographer control over the perspective of the image.
