The lens is a transparent optical component that focuses or disperses light rays to form images. In the human eye, the lens adjusts its shape to help focus light on the retina, enabling clear vision at various distances. In cameras and other optical devices, lenses manipulate light to capture sharp images and control aspects like depth of field and perspective. Overall, the lens plays a crucial role in directing and shaping light for visual clarity.
A lens has many uses. With the right shape a lens can correct someones eye sight or with multiple lens you could even make a telescope. But for all uses of a lens it comes down to one job. The distortion of light.
The basic equipment needed for a photographers job is a good SLR (single lens reflex) camera. Deprnding on the type of work undertaken, different types of lenses will be needed such a zoom/telephoto lens or a macro lens. As well as this, other accessories are useful such as lighting, tripod and a computer to view any digital photos.
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
The lens allows for creating different effects on the camera. There are lens for zooming, fish eye, etc. It creates different artistic modes. The camera comes basically without the lens, and more experienced photographers by other lenses for the new effects. They are a lot of fun though, I would definitely recommend investing in them, they create many more opportunities to have fun with Photography.

A crystalline lens is the lens in the human eye.
The pole of a lens is the midpoint of the lens' geometric axis. It is where the principal axis intersects the lens.

The best lens hood for a Canon 55-250 lens is the Canon ET-63 lens hood. It helps reduce lens flare and protects the lens from unwanted light.
