Part 1: DSLR lens

Last topic was discussed on what is Dslr and now, dslr lens. If we ask photographer, what make picture gorgeous and give us some excited mode? The answer is, Lens and technique. Technique is definitely required time to built, you need to learn and learn on it. Every single snap is worth . But lens, it need money, of course, to buy it. If we type lens in Amazon search box, for example, various type of lens come out which have different price. What  spec make huge different in lens price? I will talk about these differents.

Manufacturer

Lens are not interchangeable. Canon lens can be use on Canon camera and Nikon lens also can be used on Nikon. Unless third party lens manufacturer can be used on these camera. For example, Tokina and Tamron. Even same spec of lens, the price are still differ. This is due to the quality of lens produce by different manufacturer. Let me put some example.

IF you compare these 2 lens, both have similar maximum aperture (f/1.8),have same focal length and both are prime lens. But the quality are different. You can search in the internet and in some megazine, they rate both lens. From what i read, Nikon len on the right give high quality of picture. So, thats why the price is different. 

Focal length

There are 4 type of lens which are, wide angle lens, standard lens, telephoto lens and super telephoto lens. Each have different price. Each of these lens have own focal length. For    example, Wide angle lens cover from 28mm to lower, standard lens cover from 35mm-85mm. Each of this have different effect on picture and different style of photography.To prove this, i give you each of these lens price.Each of these lens have different price depend on the focal length as you can see.Even the maximum aperture is almost same, the price is still different. 

Prime Lens vs Zoom lens

Prime lens is the lens that have only one focal length, for example in the Manufacturer part. Zoom lens is the lens that have specific focal length for example in the Focal length part. How these different in price? Basically, the prime lens have advantage in high quality, it dont weight a lot and it not expensive. You can compare the example that i'v put in. The price are different.
