What Qualities Make a Good Camera Lens?
Posted on October 31st, 2012It can be hard deciding on what camera lens is best. We are going to quickly cover a few tips that will help you.
- A good lens has sharpness around the edges as well as in the center
- A good lens can capture with sharpness at any focal length and at any aperture setting
- A good lens should control distortion well, meaning lines don’t appear curved inward or outward
- A good lens has an even brightness level from the center to the edge of the frame. It should not get darker as it moves toward the edges
- Good lenses should also have high contrast producing vibrant images
- The lens should also be able to overcome flares, this usually happen when the lens is pointed directly into a bright light source
- The lens also shouldn’t fade to blue or red as it time wears on the lens
- A good lens should also be fast and accurate no matter what the conditions are
