The Lens Resource

by Susheel Chandradhas

The Lens Resource

Like I promised, we’re going to take a look at some lens applications and what lenses you’d want for a given use. I’ve divided them broadly into the following categories

Lenses for Portrait Photography
Lenses for Landscape Photography
Lenses for Macro Photography
Lenses for Nature & Wildlife Photography
Lenses for Sports Photography
Lenses for Still-life Photography
Lenses for Architectural Photography
Lenses for Photojournalism

I’ll be adding links to the related posts as we go along, so bookmark this page if you’re interested.

Do you think that something’s been left out? Do you want to see another category in this list? Add a comment to this post and I’ll put it in.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for that. That particular post is actually almost ready. I’m just working out the kinks. I should have it up in a week or so.

Please do check back then!

Cheers!

In your list of lenses for Sports Photography you recommend the older Nikon 600 mm not the newer AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR

@Glenn: Thanks for pointing that out. I Believe that at the time of writing, the f/4G ED VR was not released. I have since updated the post.

Cheers!
