Lenses

Lenses define 2 important things: Angle of view (focal length) Aperture

Angle of view Camera sees a “cone” of vision, measured by the angle of the cone Narrow angles of view see very little, but the subject is big Wide angles of view see a lot, but the subject is small Wide angleNarrow angle

Film/Sensor Where the light is recorded Lens Bends the light Trajectory of light Subject Source of light Focusing A look at the overall camera system

Light converges at sensor Light converges past sensor Light converges before sensor Result: ‘In focus’‘Out of focus’

Translating focal length into angle of view Focal lengthAngle of view - APS-C sensorAngle of view - 5x4 Large format 90mm18.21°84.20° Lenses are always specified by focal length Photographers are concerned with angle of view (Depends on focal length and sensor size) Is 90mm a narrow angle lens, or a wide-angle lens? Problem: We want to talk in angles of view, but are given focal lengths Solution: We convert focal lengths to “35mm equivalent”

Focal length ranges Two types of lenses: Zooms (variable focal length) and Primes (fixed focal length) Different focal lengths are useful for different things Standard range Covers most commonly used focal lengths, 28mm/wider, 70mm/longer General purpose photography Standard “kit” lens is a standard range zoom 38mm

Focal length ranges Two types of lenses: Zooms (variable focal length) and Primes (fixed focal length) Different focal lengths are useful for different things Telephoto Gives a very narrow angle, 70mm and beyond Large magnification for faraway subjects Commonly used for sports, wildlife 320mm

Focal length ranges Two types of lenses: Zooms (variable focal length) and Primes (fixed focal length) Different focal lengths are useful for different things Ultrawide Gives a very wide angle, 24mm or wider Can cover extremely large objects in confined spaces Commonly used for landscapes, architecture, journalism 19mm
