interchangeable lenses

Removable camera glass

Interchangeable lenses are camera lenses designed to be removed and swapped for others on the same camera body.

This distinguishes them from fixed-lens cameras where the lens is permanently attached.

Different lenses serve different purposes—wide-angle for landscapes, telephoto for distant subjects, macro for close-ups: She switched to a 50mm prime for better low-light performance.

The system allows photographers to adapt their equipment to varied shooting conditions.
