What to Consider When Choosing a Fixed/Prime Camera Lens

Whether you are traveling abroad or walking around your neighborhood, a camera lens can help you capture a wide range of different types of pictures and video. Fixed prime lenses come with a fixed focal length that can range from 5-millimeters to upward of 600-millimeters. Prime lenses are also compatible with a variety of different mounts that include the S, F, and AF mounts.

• Fisheye: This is a type of wide-angle lens that comes with a field of view that reaches up to 180 degrees. Due to the wide angle that is captured, a type of distortion occurs at the edges of the photo, which creates a hemispherical image.
• Aspheric: This is a type of lens that does not come with surface profiles of a sphere or cylinder, which means that potential aberrations and other issues are minimized when taking a picture.
• Pancake: This is a thin lens that is designed to be used in combination with a compact digital camera as a means of keeping the system as small as possible.
• Macro: This is a type of lens that is designed to capture close-up images of small subjects in order to make the subject appear to be larger than life in the photo.
• Telephoto: This is a type of lens that comes with a long focal length, which causes the image to be magnified and the field of view to be relatively narrow. These lenses usually come in focal lengths that start at 60-millimeters and go higher.

A fixed/prime lens is any type of lens that comes with a fixed focal length. The focal length of a camera lens refers to the distance between the lens and the image sensor. This distance is measured in millimeters. Shorter focal lengths allow for a wide-angle capture, while long focal lengths create a more magnified image with a narrow field of view. Additionally, prime lenses often come with wider ranges of available apertures, which is one of their advantages. A wide aperture, such as f/1.2, allows for much more light gathering ability. A prime lens with a wide aperture also permits the photographic effect known as "bokeh," which relies on a shallow depth of field, also imparted by the prime lens aperture.

• Camcorder: This is a type of camera that is designed primarily to capture video in a range of different resolutions. Some of these devices are equipped with the ability to capture images as well.
• Large format: This is a type of still camera that captures photos on photographic film. The film within these cameras comes in at a large size of either 4x5 inches or 8x10 inches.
• Digital SLR: This is a type of digital camera that records photos and video onto memory cards and comes with interchangeable lenses. These cameras are outfitted with numerous automatic and manual settings as well.
• Mirrorless: This is a type of camera that comes without several mirrors inside the body, which allows the device to be compact in size. These cameras use digital sensors and can accommodate interchangeable lenses.
