How do camera lenses work? How can a good lens improve a picture so much more than a bad lens if the body is the same? Isn’t it the body that’s doing most of the work?
In: Technology
The glass lenses inside bend light to make things clearer, allowing you to focus your camera like you focus your eye. Macro lenses bend the light to magnify small things, telescoping lenses bend the light to help focus on things far away. Good lenses are made of high quality glass and are shaped to be ideal for focusing for their particular use, while providing a sharpness and clarity that cheap lenses can’t match usually.
Better lenses, better pictures. The body is only there to hold and adjust the distance between lenses to allow for proper focus.
