Telephoto Lens

A telephoto lens is a type of camera lens that allows you to take close-up pictures of distant objects, making them appear larger and more detailed. It works by magnifying the subject, similar to how binoculars help you see faraway details. These lenses have a long focal length, typically starting around 70mm or higher, which provides a narrow field of view. Telephoto lenses are ideal for capturing wildlife, sports, or any scenario where you can't get close to the subject, yet want sharp, focused results with a pleasing background blur (bokeh).
