If you are familiar with DSLR, then you already know the benefits and how important it is to have a zoom lens for your DSLR. Because of its narrow angle of view, a telephoto lens is definitely not going to be like a zoom lens.

However, zoom lenses offer both a wide-angle or telephoto – giving you a wide angle or narrow view, respectively. Your personal collection of lenses should always include a SLR zoom lens, as it can zoom in on your subject as it’s name suggests.

These lenses are available to you in focal lengths that go from of 16mm up to 400mm. These versatile lens can change the background of a particular subject, as well as have the ability to bring the your subject even closer to you. Because of this longer focal length, you can use your camera to separate the subject by blurring the background and have a resulting smooth bokeh surrounding your subject. The result, the subject stands out better.

This lens is a absolute must for sports photographers who are committed to getting that action photo. You will be able to zoom in on wherever your athletes are without having to moving yourself. A SLR zoom lens is a must for animal photographers. You can make your subjects bigger and more prominent with the long focal length which gives more magnification levels without the need to be closer.

Event photographers will also benefit by using this zoom lens. It gives them the ability to zoom in on their subject, i.e. a person, and still maintain a wide angle view of the entire event setting! While these lenses are incredibly versatile, it’s still up to the photographer to use it to full potential. High-quality SLR zoom lenses are produced by Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Olympus in various focal lengths.

When looking for the magnification level of any particular lens, divide the largest number by the lowest for the correct magnification level. A Canon EF 28-300mm with a 10.7x magnification level is an example. Keep in mind that having a top-of-the-line digital SLR camera and great zoom lens, but you don’t have a photographer’s eye or know how to use it, you won’t get the pictures you want.

If you take the time to read, practice, and sometimes follow your own instincts, you will capture pictures and memories you want.
