Telephoto Lens – All you need to know!


Telephoto Lens is used for getting close to the action or sneaking up on a subject from a safe distance and is thrilling and can result in wonderful photos. Long tele and zoom lenses, on the other hand, magnify the effects of camera shake produced by your failure to hold the camera and lens perfectly still. Wind, moving or shaking floors, and lingering camera mirror vibration are all factors to consider. Start with a fast film, ISO 400 or higher, when handholding your camera and lens. In a range of lighting settings, this will let you use greater shutter speeds (1/1000 sec and above) while minimizing the impacts of shake. Use the right stance: arms tucked into the body, elbows partially supported by the chest or abdomen, and the left hand and arm balancing the lens and camera.
