camera lenses
Focal length variety
Camera lenses are the optical components that focus light onto film or a digital sensor to create images.
Different lenses serve different purposes: wide-angle lenses capture broad scenes, telephoto lenses magnify distant subjects, and macro lenses enable extreme close-ups.
Photographers often invest more in quality lenses than in camera bodies, since lenses determine sharpness, depth of field, and overall image character.
