Fond of magnificent sunsets but just can't get the nicest shot with your camera? How about those breathtaking landscapes that never cease to soothe your soul every time you travel outside the city? Or maybe you're fond of close-up shots and portraits of your kids, and would also like to photograph the sports activities they engage in at school.

Extreme close-up shots of things like collectible products or nature will require a macro camera lens that offers sharp focusing. Taking pictures of collectibles, such as coins and stamps. Wide-angle camera lenses wider field-of-view (compared to a telephoto lens narrower option) make that type of camera lens highly suitable for capturing landscape scenery or indoor shots like your child's piano recital.
