We’ll try to explain four most commonly used types of camera lenses in this informative camera lens review.

Auxilliary Lenses

Auxilliary lenses attach to the front of regular lenses to give a wider coverage or a special effect or even to allow the camera to focus at a much closer distance for extreme magnification. And no additional exposure compensation is needed for such lenses. Auxilliary attachments do a very good job for their intended purposes and cost far less than special purpose lenses.

Teleconverters

Teleconverters are also auxilliary lenses but are specially made to increase the magnification of individual prime lenses. Teleconverters usually come in three degrees of magnification: 1.4X, 2X, and 3X with perhaps 2X being the most common one. High quality teleconverters are comparatively low-cost and do nearly as good job of image magnification as the regular telephoto lenses.

SLR Camera Lenses

SLR cameras can use a large variety of camera lenses from extremely wide fish eye lenses to extremely long telephoto lenses for photographing the moon. The leading camera manufacturers offer perfect lenses, but there are also very good proprietary ones for any budget.

Medium Format Lenses

The medium format lenses come in a wide variety of focal lengths. Still, a number of these have built-in shutters known as leaf shutters. 35mm SLR lenses use focal plane shutters that may allow for the production of faster lenses but also may limit the ability to synchronize with a flash at all shutter speeds. Leaf shutters, on the other hand, will synchronize with electronic flash units at any speed, thus providing greater control over lighting.
