A set of lenses to a photographer holds the same value to the paintbrushes to a painter. Only a professional photographer knows when to change the lenses to get the best shot of the moment. Photographers use different kinds of lenses for the various genre of photography. The lenses photographers use in portrait photography can never be the same they use in landscape photography. Moreover, a couple of lenses may seem suitable for portraying landscape view. But, among them, one can stand better than the other. We need to dig out the best lens for landscape photography.
Most of the time photography enthusiasts, entry-level photographers, ask on the web whether they purchase a wide-angle or a zoom lens for landscape photography. Let’s get straight to the point.
The confusion between wide-angle and zoom lense will never end. It depends upon the expertise of the photographer how he makes the most out of these two lenses.
Well, landscape photographers indeed use the telephoto zoom lens to portray landscapes. But, wide-angle lens and landscape photography are like made for each other.
Wide-angle lens, ultra-wide lens are the two most popular lenses associated with landscape photography. Wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle allow a photographer to take the best shot of the wide range of scenery, horizon, depth of a field, etc. While the zoom lens projects distance between the viewer and the image.
