Telephotos are a type of lens that allows the photographer to capture images from a distance. However, there are several other terms that can be used to describe this kind of photography equipment, including long-focus lenses, zoom lenses, and telephoto zoom lenses. Long-focus lenses are used for shooting distant subjects, reducing the visible distance between the camera and the subject, while zoom lenses allow the photographer to change the focal length to create different compositions. Telephoto zoom lenses offer the best of both worlds, allowing the photographer to capture distant subjects while still offering versatile focal lengths. Regardless of what term you use, telephoto lenses are essential tools for photographers wanting to capture stunning images of action, wildlife or landscapes.
