How to Choose the Right Zeiss Camera Lens

Whether you are taking pictures at a wedding or are heading off on a vacation, lenses provide you with the technology necessary to capture many different types of photos and video. The Zeiss camera lens for Leica is also compatible with other mounts like the Nikon F and Sony E mounts. These lenses come in an array of different aperture amounts that range from f-1.4 to f-4.5.

Which lens types can you select?

Several options are available for Zeiss lenses:

  • Macro: This is a type of lens that can capture objects at a very close range where the objects will appear larger than life. They usually come with a magnification of 1:1.
  • Telephoto: These lenses are designed with a longer focal length than is normal, which makes for an image that is both magnified and has a narrow field of view. The focal lengths found on these lenses are usually 60 mm or higher.
  • Fisheye: This is a type of lens that comes with a field of view of 180 degrees or higher, which allows it to classify as a type of wide-angle lens. The images captured with fisheye lenses have a distortion effect on the edges that creates a hemispherical image.
  • Zoom: This is a type of lens that comes with a large number of focal lengths in order to provide you with the means of zooming in or out to different magnifications at will.
What does the focal length of a lens refer to?

The focal length of a lens refers to the exact distance from the sensor of the device to the lens when the lens is in focus. This length is listed in millimeters and determines how zoomed in the lens is on an object. Higher numbers lead to a more magnified image while shorter focal lengths lead to a wide-angle image. Some lenses are outfitted with numerous focal lengths. The focal lengths available with these lenses extend from 15 mm to 135 mm.

What are some camera types that these lenses work with?

Multiple types of cameras work with these lenses, including:

  • Large format: This is a type of device that uses a big film size to capture images. The sizes of film typically extend from 4x5 inches to 8x10 inches.
  • Rangefinder: This is a device that allows the photographer to measure the distance from the lens to the object of the photo before snapping the picture.
  • Mirrorless: This device comes without a series of mirrors inside the body, which allows it to come in a compact size. These models also come with the ability to change lenses and are commonly outfitted with a digital sensor.
  • Single-lens reflex: This is a still image device that captures images on film and comes with an electronic viewfinder. SLR models almost always come with manual settings and features.
  • Digital SLR: This is a digital camera that stores images and video on a memory card and is outfitted with a large number of both automatic and manual features. These devices come with interchangeable lenses and are equipped with a digital sensor.
