Optional Zoom Lens Kit Review

Earlier this week I got the opportunity to use the Canon EF telephoto lens now available at the Student Multimedia Design Center as an optional kit. Telephoto lenses have a focal length over 50mm, which is considered equivalent to human eyesight. This type of lens allows the photographer to shoot images from further away with greater detail, or create close-ups of minute creatures and objects. The 75-300mm can take also pictures with a focus as close as 5 feet away. That doesn't sound close, but that is not the purpose of the lens. Users may also want to have a tripod for certain shooting situations. The build of the zoom lens makes the camera more front-heavy, and the lens lacks the Image Stabilization feature available on the kit lenses of the Canon Rebel DSLR cameras we offer. Overall, this lens creates new photographic opportunities, so be sure to tell users about it when they ask to check out a DSLR.
