Buying lenses
At Kamera Express you'll find a wide range of lenses, also known as camera lenses. Whether you're looking for a telephoto lens, macro lens, or the ideal zoom lens, we're happy to help you find the right lens.
What are lenses?
A lens is the part of the camera that lets light through and projects it onto the camera's sensor. This determines the field of view, sharpness, and depth of your photos. Each type of lens is suited to a different kind of photography, making choosing the right lens a challenging task.
Types of lenses and their functions
Prime lens: Prime lenses have a fixed focal length, meaning you can't zoom in or out. Their compact size and light weight make them ideal for travel and street photography.
Zoom lens: Zoom lenses offer flexibility through a variable focal length. This allows you to zoom in and out without changing lenses. Ideal for situations where you need to react quickly, such as sports or nature photography.
Telephoto lens: Telephoto lenses are used to bring distant objects closer. They're perfect for photographing wildlife, sporting events, or other subjects at a distance.
Wide-angle lens: Wide-angle lenses have a short focal length and a wide field of view. This makes them excellently suited to landscape and architecture photography.
Fisheye lens: A fisheye lens is an ultra-wide-angle lens with an extremely wide angle of view, producing a characteristic spherical distortion. These lenses are ideal for creative and artistic photography.
Macro lens: Macro lenses are designed to take highly detailed close-ups of small subjects such as insects, flowers, and other small objects. They bring even the tiniest details into razor-sharp focus.
Mirror lens: A mirror lens combines lenses and mirrors to refract and reflect light. Ideal for photographing distant objects, such as in astrophotography.
Tilt-shift lens: Tilt-shift lenses offer the ability to tilt and shift the lens. This is particularly useful in architecture photography for correcting perspective distortion and skewing.
Video lens: These are lenses specially designed for video recording. Video lenses offer smooth focusing and minimal noise, ideal for professional filmmakers.
Which lens fits your camera?
When choosing a lens, it's important to know which lenses fit your camera, as not every lens fits every camera. So it's worth paying close attention to the lens mount and sensor format of your camera when making a purchase.

Frequently asked questions
Every lens produces a different image due to differences in focal length, depth of field, and light intensity. A wide-angle lens captures a sweeping landscape, while a telephoto lens brings distant subjects closer. By swapping lenses, you can practice different types of photography with the same camera body, from portrait to nature photography.
The mount, or lens mount, is the connection used to attach a lens to a camera. Each camera manufacturer has specific mounts, such as the Canon RF, Nikon Z, and Sony E-mount. The correct lens mount ensures the lens works properly with the camera and supports all functions. Always check that a lens is compatible with your camera before purchasing.
Yes, some lenses are suitable for multiple types of photography, depending on their focal length and aperture. A zoom lens with a variable range, such as a 24-70mm, can be used for both portraits and landscapes. A 50mm prime lens works well for both street photography and portraits. For specialized photography such as macro or sports, specific lenses are better as they are designed for extreme close-ups or distant subjects.
The focal length (expressed in mm) determines how much of the scene is captured and how large the subject appears. Wide-angle lenses (10-35mm) are ideal for landscapes and architecture. Standard lenses (35-85mm) give a natural perspective and are perfect for portraits. Telephoto lenses (85mm and above) bring distant subjects closer, ideal for sports and wildlife. A zoom lens offers flexibility, while a prime lens is often sharper and has a larger aperture.
Lenses often feature abbreviations indicating technology and specifications: IS (Image Stabilization) / VR (Vibration Reduction) for reducing camera shake; USM (Ultrasonic Motor) / AF-S (Auto Focus Silent) for fast, quiet autofocus; f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6 indicating maximum aperture (lower number = more light); Macro for extreme close-up photography; ED (Extra-low Dispersion) / ASP (Aspherical Lens) for improved image quality with less distortion.
