Telephoto lenses

Telephoto lenses allow the photographer to create pictures at great distances. They are split up into three categories.

1. Short (85mm-135mm)
2. Medium (135mm-300mm)
3. Super (300mm+)

As you can imagine, the bigger the telephoto lens, the bigger the price tag. If you want the best, be prepared to spend thousands of dollars.

Recommendations while using a telephoto lens.

• Short lenses are typically used for shooting portraits
• Medium is used for sports and action photographers
• Super is for those who are after wildlife and simply can't get close enough
