Typically a "fast" lens with a maximum aperture of f2.8 or better (1.8). But if you have time for a longer exposure or can accept the grain/noise of higher film speeds, the lens you have can do the job.
of course if you want to kibbitz there are the magical and mythical 1.0 lenses too
What else can I help you with?
Does camera lenses have long or short focal points?
The short focal length of a camera lens is so that the image the lens forms is small and can be focused on a piece of light-sensitive film.
What does archetypal lens mean?
a type of literacy lens. pertains to connecting with Greek mythology. ex of other lenses. feminist , Marxist , historical.
What is the difference the type of lens used in camera and in human eye?
Aside from the obvious with respect to tissue versus glass, the camera lens is a compound lens made up from several lens elements each having different characteristics. Some of these elements converge light rays and some diverge them. Also, a lens element cannot precisely focus all the colors of light at the same point because they have different wave lengths. Thus lens design has to compensate for this as much as possible. Lens coatings must be employed to minimize diffraction, dispersion and glare. As for focus, the position of the elements relative to the film plane has to change with the change in distance from the subject. I am no eye expert, but I believe the eye lens is much simpler in that it is one bioconvex element. It focuses by changing shape through the affect of muscles acting upon it. Certain deficiencies such as astigmatism, are corrected with glasses or contact lenses. It also cannot precisely focus all light wavelengths. How we deal with that as humans is interesting reading, but is far too complicated and unrelated to deal with here.
Is a polarizing filter the same as a haze filter?
A haze filter, typically an 81A or 81B Wratten-type filter is used to cut down the amount of ultraviolet light entering the camera's optics. You can use this instead of a clear glass filter to protect the front element of your camera lens. There are two types of polarizing filters - linear and circular. Depending on your type of camera (film versus digital), you may need to use a circular polarizer to be able to see through the lens system. Polarizers cut down the amount of light entering the lens by acting like a set of Venetian blinds and letting light only come in as a single plane. There is more information on polarizing filters in the question In photography what does a polarizing filter do?
In photography what is a telephoto lens?
When being used in photography, a telephoto lens is used as a long focus lens. This means that the focal length of the lens is longer than the physical length. This type of lens is often used for photography of animals.
What type of lens structure is found in a light microscope?
convex lens
What type of lens causes light rays to refract?
A convex lens causes light rays to converge, or refract, towards a focal point. This type of lens is thicker at the center than at the edges, causing light rays passing through it to bend inward.
What is a type of lens that magnifies an object?
A convex lens is a type of lens that can magnify an object. This lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, causing light rays to converge and create a magnified image.
Which type of Lens causes light Rays passing through it to diverge?
A concave lens causes light rays passing through it to diverge. This is because the lens is thinner at the center than at the edges, causing the light rays to spread out.
A lens that forms images by refracting light rays together is called what?
A lens that forms images by refracting light rays together is called what?
A type of lens that magnifies an object?
convex converging apex... :P
What type of lens photometer?
A photometer used for measuring light intensity typically uses a lens that focuses the light onto a sensor or detector. The type of lens used can vary depending on the specific application and the desired level of accuracy or sensitivity required for the measurements.
What is the refractive index of a lens?
The refractive index of a lens describes how much the lens bends light as it passes through it. It quantifies how much the speed of light changes as it enters and exits the lens material. The refractive index varies depending on the type of material the lens is made of.
What lens bends a light inward?
A converging lens bends light inward. This type of lens causes light rays to converge at a focal point, leading to the formation of a real image. Examples of converging lenses include convex lenses.
What is a description of convex lens?
A convex lens is a type of lens that is thicker in the center and thinner at the edges. It converges light rays that pass through it, bringing them to a focal point. This type of lens is commonly used in magnifying glasses, cameras, and eyeglasses to focus light and create clear images.
What type of device forms images by bending light?
A camera or a lens forms images by bending light. The light rays are focused through a lens onto a sensor or film, where the image is captured.
What type of lens is needed to correct hypermetropia?
Hypermetropia is corrected with a converging lens, specifically a convex lens. This type of lens is thicker in the middle and helps to focus light rays onto the retina, correcting the vision problem associated with hypermetropia.
