Accurate selection of lenses is very important for good photography and to make the best use of your lenses, you have to be familiar with its features. You must have heard of telephoto lens, which is linger than the standard lenses and are used to magnify the subject. A telephoto lens has two main features: a smaller depth of field and a narrower angle of view.

A telephoto lens allows you to zoom in the details of a scene, without actually moving closer to it. As such, these lenses, like the Nikon AF 135mm 2 DC lens, are ideal for capturing sports, concerts as well as some secret affairs. In all such actions, the security measures prevent you from moving too close to the subject. In case of wildlife photography, it would otherwise be impossible to capture lion and other animals.

However, you must not ignore the fact that the narrow field factor of the telephoto lens can also act reversely. Even a slight mistake can spoil the complete image, so it is better to first get a feel of the lens. As a beginner, you should first thoroughly understand the technique of correctly using and handling the telephoto lens.

To make the best of your telephoto lenses, you must learn to use it in different situations. For instance, if you desire to take a shot where less light is needed, you must use a high speed film. To isolate your subject from the background, you can ideally use a wide aperture. As a piece of advice, always prefer using a tripod to minimise distortion.
