Lenses Analysis Continued

• Comparatively, to the Zoom Lens there are other lenses such as the Prime Lens were you wouldn't have to sacrifice significant optical quality.

• An inexpensive Prime Lens can provide as quality an image as the zoom lens.

• Also a larger zoom lens does not necessarily magnify an image. Digital zoom is also not the same as optical zoom.

• An aperture Lens meanwhile, dictates the length you can open or close a lens creating youre control over the lighting in the shot.

• "Lenses with larger apertures are often described as being faster. The shutter speed can then be made faster with the same exposure.

• A lens with a greater spectrum of settings provide more flexibility for shooting both in terms of exposure and the depth of field.

• Certain types of photography such as portrait and sports/theater photography will require lenses with large aperture levels.

• "Lenses with larger maximum apertures provide significantly brighter viewfinder images - possibly critical for night and low-light. "

• The minimum apertures for lenses are typically not as significant as maximum apertures. This is due to photo blurring from lens diffraction.

• Some SLR & compact digital cameras can list a great degree of maximum aperture. This may depend on how zoomed out youre lens is.

"Lenses are typically have fewer aberrations when they perform the exposure stopped down one or two f-stops from their maximum aperture.
