Answering your questions on Standard Zoom Lenses

What is a Zoom Lens?

A zoom lens is a type of camera lens that offers a range of focal lengths in one lens, allowing you to zoom in and out without changing lens.
How does a Zoom Lens work?

A zoom lens enhances composition accuracy by allowing you to adjust framing and perspective easily. This flexibility is crucial for capturing the perfect shot without physically moving closer or further from the subject.
How to use a Zoom Lens?

To use a zoom lens, familiarise yourself with the focal length markings on the lens which are indicated in millimetres (mm). Locate the zoom ring on the lens, rotate the ring clockwise to zoom in (increase focal length) to isolate your subject and counterclockwise to zoom out (decrease focal length) to capture a wider scene.
How to calculate the zoom of a lens?

The zoom of a lens is calculated by dividing its longest focal length by its shortest. For example, a 24-105mm lens has a zoom ratio of about 4x (105 divided by 24).
Is a Prime Lens better than a Zoom Lens?

It depends on your needs. Prime lenses have fixed focal lengths and often offer wider apertures for better low-light performance and depth of field control. Zoom lenses offer more flexibility with variable focal lengths.
