long lens
Far-reaching camera attachment
A long lens is a camera lens with a long focal length, producing a narrow angle of view and high magnification.
Long lenses compress perspective and blur backgrounds, making them essential for wildlife, sports, and portrait photography where distance from the subject is necessary or desirable: She captured the eagle from across the canyon with a long lens.
Paparazzi favor long lenses for photographing celebrities from afar.
