Oh! It's a giveaway and for a limited time only, so hurry! So, Prime Lens (I love them) is a common part of a photographer's gear. I see them been used a lot here in Ghana by both amateurs and pros. It must be all confusing if you're venturing into photography as a novice and you don't really know the function/ purpose of a prime lens. When I decided to try out photography, I asked why I needed a prime lens and I was often fed this response,’ it is a primary part of any photographer’s lens collection, as it delivers high quality images and gives you a blur background. Just fix one on to your camera and start shooting and you will see the results for yourself', so without fully understanding what it was, I saved and bought one and although I have not regretted getting it, I find that it's essential you understand what you're buying before you do buy it. In this guide, you will learn; 1. What a prime lens is. 2. What makes a lens PRIME? 3. Use(s) of a prime lens. 4. Why you should get it. What a prime lens is. A Prime lens is simply a lens without a zoom function. Prime lenses have a fixed focal length which cannot be changed by zooming in or out. This, of course limits their versatility. So why the hype on prime lenses? While they may be fixed, prime lenses typically offer a much wider aperture. It’s much easier to find an f/1.8 lens in a prime than it is to find a zoom with that kind of speed. Those f/1.8 apertures come in handy for creating Bokeh, utilizing a shallow depth of field and shooting in limited lighting. And because they don't need the extra moving parts and bits of glass that zooms need, they can be smaller and lighter. Primes are quite dear especially if they have larger apertures but there are inexpensive options like CANON 85MM F/1.8, CANON 100MM F/2.8 MACRO LENS, CANON 50MM F/1.8 II. What makes a lens PRIME? Like any other lens that you can think of, a prime lens has its own characteristics. These factors make a prime lens stand out from the vast of lenses. Fixed Focal length: The first thing that you will notice about this lens is that, unlike other lenses, which have a range of maximum and minimum focal length that you can vary, this one is fixed to one particular focal length. The length of lens you buy will affect what sort of pictures you can take, and the choice is huge. From 800mm super-telephoto primes to 8mm ultra wide-angle fisheye primes, they’re available for all sorts of jobs. The most common, though, are in the 35mm-50mm range, which equate to what most photographers would consider 'normal'. That's because on a full-frame camera, a 50mm lens give you about the same field of view as regular human vision, and on an APS-C body, a 35mm lens would offer a similar field of view. In technical terms, the distance between the lens and the point in front of the lens in space where the light converges is known as the focal point. This means all the points in front or beyond this point will not focus and will result in lens blur. This is also the reason for the shallow depth of field in images. Since prime lenses have a fixed focal length, you will not be able to zoom in and out. You will have to move and position yourself or your subject to get the composition right. Different focal lengths are better suited to certain subjects or styles; this is why you will constantly see lenses like the 85mm referred to as a “portrait” lens, or the 35mm as a “street” lens. Besides the obvious, different focal lengths have their own attributes and looks. For example, the longer the lens is, the shallower the depth of field will be, when they are compared at the same aperture setting. Image from bhphotovideo showing clearly the variance in prime lenses and their fields of view. A 100mm lens at f/2.8 will have much shallower depth of field than a 35mm at f/2.8. Also, telephoto lenses tend to flatten features and compress space, making the background elements appear much closer and larger than a wide-angle lens would. This is why an 85mm is a popular choice for portraiture; it has good background separation due to shallow depth of field, and will flatten a subject’s features slightly for a more flattering image. Wide angles will exaggerate perspective, and will make subjects appear distorted, but they can capture a larger area and are well-suited to architecture, landscapes, and other types of photography where dramatized elements are wanted. Keep in mind that sensor size will affect the effective angle of view captured and that lenses are commonly given a 35mm equivalent focal length for use with different formats, such as a DSLR with an APS-C sensor. A 50mm lens mounted on such a camera, with a 1.5x crop factor, for example, will have an equivalent focal length of 75mm. This doesn’t mean that the specific qualities of the lens have changed, a 50mm is still a 50mm, just that the area captured is similar to that of a 75mm lens on a full-frame camera, as if you had cropped the image in post to capture the same angle of view. Some manufacturers take the popularity of crop-sensor cameras into account when making lenses. This means that some prime lenses work properly only on APS-C or smaller sensors and will not provide full coverage when using a full-frame camera. This does allow lenses to be much smaller than they would need to be or to achieve equivalent focal lengths that are desired. Fujifilm does this with their APS-C mirrorless camera series by releasing 23mm, 35mm, and 56mm lenses, which are equivalent to the popular, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm lenses on full-frame cameras. If you do own a crop-sensor camera and your brand offers full-frame options, you should consider whether you would like to eventually upgrade to the larger sensor later on. If you do, crop-sensor lenses will not work on your later camera, though full-frame lenses will work properly on crop-sensor cameras. Purchasing full-frame-compatible glass now can save you time and money later. Lenses like Nikon’s 50mm f/1.8G and Canon’s EF 50mm f/1.8 II are great budget options with wide maximum apertures that can dramatically expand a beginner’s capabilities compared to a kit zoom lens. Massive Aperture: Prime lenses can have very huge apertures compared to other lenses. The fixed focal length makes do with the clunky zoom in and out mechanism. However, their huge aperture sizes do more than just compensate for having a fixed focal length. The maximum aperture range starts at f/1.4 or even f/1.2. That means during a clear day light, you will be able to shoot at shutter speeds beyond 1/1000th of a second at ISO 100 thus resulting in very sharp, very clear images. Even during twilight situations, you will be able to shoot at 1/125th of a second, which is still a safe range for hand-held shooting. Depth of Field: With great aperture, comes great Bokeh. Bokeh is a Japanese term that denotes the way the lens aesthetically renders the out of focus points in a frame. You'll notice that all prime lenses have an F-number next to them (Canon 50mm f1.8, for example). The F-number refers to the aperture, which is the hole that lets the light into the camera. The lower the lower the F-number, the larger the hole, so the more light it can let in. The F-number F1.2 and F1.4 lenses are the largest aperture lenses available for most DSLRs and compact system cameras, and because they let in bags of light, they allow for fast shutter speeds and they create lovely Bokeh. As focal lengths increase, however, larger apertures require more complex engineering and weightier glass – which translates to higher prices. Bokeh effect works great especially in portraits. Have you ever seen those fantastic portrait shots in magazines? The ones that have their subject in focus but the background appears to have disappeared into a pleasing blurry evanescence.

  • Freelensing Presentation
    FREELENSING WORKSHOP NOTES by ALMITRA HILL These notes are taken from a workshop presentation by Almitra Hill at Lane Cove Creative Photography on Thursday 3 May 2018. WHAT IS FREELENSING? An alternative shooting technique where an interchangeable lens is detached from the camera body and held up to the mount opening during exposure. The lens is often tilted to distort the focal plane and selectively focus. Distinctive features include: wedge of focus, distorted perspective, softness/blur, light leaks, flare. Above: some examples of freelensed images STARTING OUT Which lens to use • A “normal” prime lens is a good place to start (35mm or 50mm) but zoom lenses can be used. • Something lightweight that is easy to handle. • A slower maximum aperture can be handy. • Manual aperture ring is extremely useful. • Vintage lenses are great! • A different-mount lens with a longer register/flange focal distance will enable more distant focus (e.g. Nikon lens with Canon body). A note on aperture… • Default apertures depend on the make and mount of lens: Canon-mount lenses default to wide open when detached, most other lenses default to fully stopped down. • TIP: Canon users can hold down the DoF preview button while detaching a lens (with the power on) and the aperture will remain as set. www.lanecovecreativephotography.org • Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Sigma, Tamron etc lenses have an aperture control lever on the rear of the lens that can be held open with a small piece of card/plastic/hairtie. • Manual aperture rings allow you to stop down mechanically. Setting exposure • Meter electronically: Canon and Nikon meters still function with the lens detached.

The lens on a camera is a series of precision-shaped pieces of glass that, when placed together, can manipulate light and change the appearance of an image. Some cameras have removable lenses (interchangeable lenses) while other cameras have permanent lenses (fixed lenses). Fixed-lens cameras are limited in their versatility, but are generally much less expensive than a camera body with several potentially expensive lenses. (The cost for interchangeable lenses can range from $1-200 for standard lenses to $10,000 or more for high quality, professional lenses.) In addition, fixed-lens cameras are typically smaller and easier to pack around on sightseeing or recreational trips. Those who wish to become involved in fine art, fashion, portrait, landscape, or wildlife photography, would be wise to become familiar with the various types of lenses serious photographers use. The following discussion is mostly about interchangeable-lens cameras. However, understanding the concepts will help in understanding fixed-lens cameras as well. Figures 1 & 2.

  • LENSES There Is Something Magical About the Image Formed by a Lens
    LENSES There is something magical about the image formed by a lens. Surely every serious photographer stands in awe of this miraculous device, which approaches ultimate perfection. A fine lens is evidence of a most advanced technology and craft. We must come to know intuitively what our lenses and other equipment will do for us, and how to use them. ~ Ansel Adams LENSES A pinhole is the simplest way to form an image. A pinhole creates a very soft focused, diffused image that is often aesthetically pleasing. Pinhole cameras can be very complex or very simple in construction. ~ Ansel Adams LENSES Focal Length When choosing a camera you must also choose the appropriate lens for whatever subject matter you will be photographing. Lenses come in a wide variety, not only in focal length but also in price. Purchasing the right lens can be difficult if you don’t understand some basic terminology: Focal Length is what gives lenses their names (wide, telephoto, zoom, etc). The focal length is defined as a distance from the center of such a convex element (principle point) to the focal point (image plane) and it is one of the most decisive factors that determines the characteristics of a lens. When purchasing a lens we recognize the focal length of the lens sometimes by its physical length, but mainly by the number designated. For example: 50mm, 85mm, 200mm, 70-200mm, etc. The focal length is usually the first decision to make in purchasing a lens. Focal Length LENSES One of the greatest advantages to purchasing a digital SLR camera is the fact that you can purchase a wide variety of lens for every purpose.

  • Choosing a Lens of the Right Focal Length That You Will Get the Appropriate Angle of View
    How to choose a camera lens Understanding the technology SUMMARY When you buy a camera, make sure the lens is suited for the intended purpose. With the right lens, you can greatly enhance the results you achieve in a particular type of photography and, by having a variety of lenses, you can greatly extend the usefulness of your camera. This paper provides a basic introduction to the principles of camera lenses. It explains the terminology: what is meant by focal length and f/number? Choose the right lens and taking good photographs becomes so much easier! The Basics The most important component of your camera is the lens. It’s no good having a camera with an impressively large number of megapixels if the lens is not up to the job. A lens has two basic properties: Focal length This determines the field of view of the lens. To match human vision, you’d need a lens with a focal length of about 35mm (in photography, focal length is always measured in millimetres). The normal, or standard, focal length for a camera lens is 50mm - anything smaller is called wide-angle, anything greater is called telephoto. A camera lens offering a range of focal lengths is called a zoom lens; one of fixed focal length is called a prime lens. f/number The ratio of the focal length of the lens (f) to its effective diameter: the size of its ‘window’ on the outside world , or aperture. The f/number is a measure of the light gathering power of the lens (called its speed).

  • A Quick Guide to Prime Lenses
    A Quick Guide to Prime Lenses PUBLISHED - 29 SEP 2016 What is a prime lens? Well, in terms of what it's not, it's a lens that isn't a zoom – rather than have a range of focal lengths, it has only one. But in terms of what it is, it's far more than simply a fixed focal length lens. So what are the benefits of using a prime lens? Get yourself comfortable, because there's a lot to get through… Smaller, lighter, more compact Prime lenses are often smaller and more compact than zooms, and tend to be faster, offering wide apertures of f/2.8, f/1.8 or even f/1.4. These large apertures let in more light, which benefits the photographer in a number of ways. First, you can use fast shutter speeds with large apertures to freeze motion. This becomes important when you're shooting in low light. By using a high ISO and a wide aperture, you'll be able to use high enough shutter speeds so you can hand-hold the camera. Secondly, because fast lenses let in lots of light, the viewfinder will be brighter, and so it will be easier to confirm focus, ensuring your images will be sharp. Also, as primes are often simpler in construction than zooms, this means they are not only often slightly less expensive to make, but they also tend to have fewer visual aberrations such a colour fringing and image distortion, giving you a more technically correct image than a zoom can at the extremes of its focal range Another popular benefit of a prime lens is the bokeh it will achieve, especially for portraits.
