It is the same in the case of the cameras that we use today. Today's digital cameras have made photography easier, more convenient, and excellently wondrous!
But a photographer's journey doesn't end just by buying a good digital camera. There are many more things he needs to take care of in order to produce really stupefying pictures. One such thing is the lens he uses. And buying the best suited lenses for your camera is the trickiest part of the task.
Well, if you take care of certain important factors and do a little home work before hitting the camera store whether an online store or a brick and mortar one, you will be really satisfied with your decision.
There are lot many things to consider depending upon what you are actually looking for but here we'll see the ones which are really undeniable:-
Suitable Focal Length:
Focal length is the most important factor for choosing the lenses for your digital camera. It is the focal length of the lens which decides how your photography is going to be. There are two types of focal length most commonly used-Telephoto and wide angle.
Telephoto gives you a narrow field of view and is best suited for close up shots and portraits. Whereas wide angle gives you a wider field of view and proves the perfect choice for indoor and landscape photography. Buy those which best suit your photography type.
Suitable Speed:
You might be a bit confused with the word speed associated with lenses, am I right? I know I am. Well when we talk about speed we actually talk of fast and slow lenses and fast and slow lenses in return refer to the maximum aperture of the lenses.
A fast lens lets in a lot of light and are best suited for the photography in the dark where as a slow lens brings in lesser light and is best suited for the photography in lighter conditions. Now if you love to click photographs in darker conditions go for a fast lens but if it is not the case then slow lens will be a better option.
Need for Zoom Lens:
Zoom lenses are very helpful if your photography requires a lot of shifting from one lens to other for different shots. But never forget that all zoom lenses do not offer a constant maximum aperture and the zoom lenses which really provide you with this feature are larger in size and are rather expensive. So make sure you really need such lenses otherwise it will be a wasteful expense.
There are many other points to consider but the above ones are highly recommended.
