Nikon Camera Lens Guide for the Wedding Photographer
Nikon is a reputable camera company which produces fantastic cameras and accessories. The Nikon lenses are interchangeable with many camera models. Having a good selection of lenses is require for the wedding photographer. Each lens serves different purposes including wide angle images, zooming in on subjects, creative framing and shooting in low lighting conditions.
A wider aperture enables a faster shutter speed which is essential in low lighting conditions to obtain sharp images. Don't skimp on your lens! It's is the eye of your digital SLR camera and determines how you see the subject and provides the view of light to be transmitted to the camera's sensor chip for recording.
Purchasing a DSLR or Digital Single Lens Reflex camera comes with a basic kit lens that could give decent quality pictures. But the advantage in DSLR cameras is being able to switch lenses, depending on the type of shot you want. Zoom lenses are powerful telescopic viewfinders enabling subjects to be closer to you.
Zoom Lenses are for those wishing to get action photos, the best would be the "telephoto lens" which ranges from 100mm up to 300mm. This is due to the DSLRs crop factor. There is not much zooming needed. A good example would be Nikon D40 which has a 200mm type of telephoto lens that can turn into a 300mm one.
Prime lenses are fixed focal length lenses like a 50mm 1.4f lens. To zoom with these types of lenses you need to use your feet and to get closer or farther away from the subject. If you are searching for lenses and require a range for your camera bag, look at the Nikon camera guide for prices and functions that each lens has to offer. You can obtain great lenses on e-bay at great discounted prices.
