UV filters block out unwanted ultraviolet light and prevents the UV "fogging/haze" effect which can result in inaccurate color and lower the apparent sharpness. This filter is also ideal for protecting your valuable lens from scratches and dust, and it can be kept on the lens at all times.

The Precision Design ET-67B Lens Hood is designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens.

Canon EF 70-200 F4 L IS Lens Review

!9#: Canon EF 70-200 F4 L IS Lens Review

Canon EF 70-200 F4 L IS, one of famous telephoto lenses of the photography world today, is comprised of 4 main important parts which are lens construction, a lens body, IS (Image Stabilizer system) and an aperture. I have been using this lens for awhile and I would like to share my review into 4 important parts as listed below.

Firstly, the lens construction is composed of 15 lens groups and 20 lens elements with a filter diameter of 67 mm and it has a focal length range from 70 mm to 200 mm. Moreover, there are 2 UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) lens elements and 1 fluorite lens element which help dramatically light dispersion, color balance, image sharpness and a vignette while minimizing ghosting and flare. It has the closet focusing distance of 1.2 m and the maximum magnification of 0.21 m. It is used for dispersing light reflected from objects into an image sensor in a camera.

Secondly, with a total weight of 760 gram, the lens body has a diameter of 76 mm and a length of 172. It has a strong white magnesium alloy case with black rubber cover at a zoom ring and a focal ring and a red ring showing as the Canon professional lens, called L-series lens, around a front part of the lens. It is used to protect the lens elements, the aperture, dust and moisture from outside.

Thirdly, the aperture is made of 8 circular diaphragm blades. Its maximum aperture (F-Stop number) is 4 and its minimum aperture (F-Stop number) is 32 throughout all focal length. Moreover, there is no an aperture ring at the back of the lens so the aperture must be adjusted by the camera only. Its functions are for controlling the amount of lighting coming into the image sensor and depth of field.

Finally, IS (Image Stabilizer system) contains a special gyro system which shifts lens in the gyro system in the opposite direction of hand shaking both x-axis and y-axis in order to compensate vertical and lateral movement of hands while taking photos. Consequently, the motion of IS will cancel out hand shaking directions and the light coming into the image sensor will be steady. It is very useful when photographers would like to take photographs in low shutter speed condition and it gives an equivalent effect of shutter speed approximately 4 stops. With the IS, it helps considerably photographers get sharp images in low shutter speed condition.

In conclusion, the 4 main important parts of the Canon EF 70-200 F4 L IS lens which are the construction, the lens body, the IS (Image Stabilizer system) and the aperture make this lens as the outstanding professional telephoto lens.

!9# Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras

Brand : Canon | Rate : | Price : $499.99

Compact, lightweight and a wide magnification range - this standard zoom lens features a wide focal length range from normal to telephoto equivalent to 29-320mm in the 35mm format. It features an Optical Image Stabilizer for up to 4-stops of effective correction even at full zoom. Since Canon's optical image stabilization system is in the lens, not in the camera, you can see the stabilized, steadier images through the viewfinder. And the circular aperture can give beautiful background blur effects. This new wide zoom ratio EF-S lens delivers excellent high-speed performance at an affordable price.

DSLR Camera Lenses and Their Abbreviations

!9# DSLR Camera Lenses and Their Abbreviations

[if ]
[endif]

For those of you who want to learn what these abbreviations are about, I have compiled a list of the terms used, what it stands for and of course what it will actually do for you or avoid.

General Abbreviations.

Before we get into the nitty gritty of why they are all different, let's look at the commonalities. There are three common terms to describe SLR lenses and these are simple to grasp and relate purely to more creative and performance functions.

Focal length: - The scope of the scene captured example 16-35mm. A lens which covers an area of 16mm (relatively wide) zooming in to 35mm.

Maximum aperture:- The maximum speed at which the lens can let in light. eg f/2.8 or f3.5 - 5.6

If the lens has only one number then that is the maximum aperture possible.

If the lens has 2 numbers then these are the maximum apertures possible dependent upon the focal length the lens is set to.

The lower the number the wider the lens aperture and the faster it lets in light. (see my forthcoming article on the law of reciprocity)

AF/MF: Switch between Auto Focus and Manual Focus

Canon Lens Abbreviations

Terms to describe Canon lenses

Canon produce an extremely wide range of lenses for their EOS cameras. This married with the ranges produced by Sigma, Tamron and Tokina gives Canon owners an enormous range of Canon Fit SLR Lenses. The abbreviations used by Canon are as below.

EF: Electronic Focus. Lens mount fits the entire Canon EOS DSLR range.

EF-S: As above but only fitting the APS-C sensor digital SLR such as the 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D and 300D, 350D, 400D, 450D, 500D. The S stands for "short back focus," meaning that the back of the lens is much closer to the CMOS (CCD if you like) than with EF lenses.

USM: Ultrasonic autofocus motor. Two types. USM micro-a direct replacement for the systems on older FD motors and 'Ring USM' with manual override.

DO: Diffractive optics. A technology allowing Canon to produce shorter physical length lenses.

TS-E: Tilt-shift lens used for perspective correction in photography, usually in architectural work to alter converging lines and depth of field. Similar to 'Sinar' camera.

L Lenses: Canon professional with higher optical quality and not specifically functionality. Usually white in colour. All L series lenses have a red ring on the outside..

MP-E: Macro Photo Electronic. Lenses designed for macro with an electronic aperture control function.

IS: Image Stabilisation, A system designed to reduce hand shake. Nikon version is called VR (Vibration Reduction) and Sigma one is OS (Optical Stabilisation).

Nikon Lens Abbreviations

Describing Nikon Lenses

Nikon produce a large range of lenses with their own specific acronyms. Sigma, Tamron and Tokina also make Nikon Fit SLR Lenses making the selection almost equally as wide

AF DC_ Nikkor Lenses:Defocus-image Control adjusting spherical aberration and thus the blur giving rounded blur effect used for portraits.

CRC (Close-Range Correction): Fot fisheye, wide-angle, Micro, and limited medium telephoto, offering higher quality at closer distances.

DX Nikkor: optimised for bodies with smaller sensors.

ED: Extra-low Dispersion glass. Superior sharpness and colour, correcting blue and red light travel.

IF: Internal Focusing. Lens length remains unchanged

Macro: suitable for close up focusing.

G: Aperture adjusted by the camera body.

Nano Crystal Coat: non-reflective coating for clearer images.

VR: Vibration Reduction: Nikon's version Image Stabilisation to cur down the effects of hand shake.

PC-E: Perspective Control for architectural photography.

RF: Rear Focusing for smoother auto focus..

Silent Wave Motor: Silent AF

Sigma Lens Abbreviations

Acronyms for Sigma lenses

EX: Sigma's professional lenses.

DG: For full frame bodies

DC: For APS-C bodies.

ASP: Aspherical lens.

APO: Apochromatic lens. Unique to Sigma and for chromatic aberration.

OS: Optical Stabilisation.

HSM: Hypersonic Motor. Silent AF.

RF: Rear focus..

IF: Inner focus so lens physical length is fixed reducing hand shake on longer focus shots.

DF: Dual focus. Does not rotate during AF.

Conv: Used with Sigma teleconverters.

Tamron Lens Abbreviations

Tamron Lenses described

ASL: Aspherical

AD: Reduces chromatic aberration..

Di : Full frame

Di II: Cropped Frame.

IF: Internal focus.

LD: Low Dispersion Glass to reduce chromatic abberation

Macro: Designed to focus on closer subjects

SP : Super Performance.

XR: Extra Refractive Glass for improved optical results.

VC: Vibration Control as Canon's IS, Sigma's OS and Nikon's VR.

Equipped with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm standard zoom lens is ideal for just about any application.

Canon Macro 60mm - 6 Reasons to Buy a Canon 60mm Macro Lens

!9# Canon Macro 60mm - 6 Reasons to Buy a Canon 60mm Macro Lens

[if ]
[endif]

Every Canon digital SLR owner needs a macro lens. Whether it is the Canon macro 60mm or some other variety, you should definitely consider having a macro lens in your camera bag.

A Canon 60mm macro lens is one of the first lenses you should purchase for you Canon Rebel or your Canon 60D.

You will be able to take literally thousands of photos that will amaze your family and friends, not to mention those who visit your photo gallery on your web site or Flickr.

Even if you have other macro lenses, the 60mm is a great addition to your gear, simply because it is so versatile.

Just a few of the things it does well:

1. Macro photos (of course) - get those amazing shots of insects, flowers, and other tiny objects up to a 1:1 ratio, showing fantastic detail that is normally not seen by the human eye.
2. Use apertures as wide open as f/2.8 to get fast shutter speeds and super bokeh (bokeh is those blurry backgrounds that make the subject of your picture stand out and create professional looking images.)
3. Take excellent portraits because this lens is the perfect focal length for portraiture. On a Canon Rebel, the focal length is equivalent to 96mm due to the 1.6 crop factor.
4. Save some money by purchasing this lens instead of the 100mm macro. The image quality is outstanding, so you will never be sorry about the buy (no "buyer's remorse")
5. Excellent lens for video on your Canon Rebel, 50D, or 7D. Sharper lenses produce higher quality video, and the sharpness of this lens is indisputable. Also will perform better in lower light while taking video because of the wide aperture.
6. Especially made for APS-C type image sensors. If you have a Rebel, a 20D-60D, or a 7D, this lens is for you! Canon produces EF-S lenses like the Canon 60mm to deal with that specific type of sensor in those cameras. The technology is perfect for getting the best results with the entry-level to mid-level digital SLR cameras.

There are a couple of things on the down side:

* First, the lens ships without a hood.
* No IS (image stabilization). Some do not consider this a negative on a lens of this quality at this price, but others do. You will no doubt want to shoot most of your macro shots with a tripod anyway because of the detail in those type of shots.

User Satisfaction:

Look at the user comments in places like Amazon and B&H photo. Buyers are in love with this lens. One of the most common remarks is that they don't know why they hesitated when thinking about this purchase.

The reason for hesitation is fairly obvious. The Canon Macro 60mm does not get all the attention of some of the other lenses in this category. But it really should. It is a tremendous addition to anyone's camera bag.
