prime lens

Discover how prime lenses enhanced the look of the film.

But as many will argue, one of the best investments is a "standard" 50mm prime lens.

At the time of launch, 3 prime lenses were available:

Bright, very high quality wide angle prime lens with large F2 maximum aperture.

These are high quality prime lenses with the lens housing made of nicely crafted metal.

This use of the term "prime lens" is an example of a retronym.

The film was shot in HD, using prime lenses.

They should have both been prime lenses.

Some specialist lenses are only available as prime lenses due to design or cost constraints.

It is one of the widest non-fisheye prime lenses.

Long focus lenses are relatively simple to design, the challenges being comparable to the design of a prime lens.

A - "Art Series", large aperture prime lenses, high optical performance.

The increasingly complex internal movements of zoom lenses also inspired improved prime lens designs.

In a prime lens this is easy, but in a zoom there is always a compromise.

The prototype also uses the same Red Pro Prime lenses sold with their camera system.

It is a "pancake" lens, a very compact prime lens designed to be easily portable.

Standard non-zoom lenses are called prime lenses or simply "primes".

A Prime lens is a lens which has a fixed "zoom" or focal length.

This is an advantage for crop body users as it is a relatively cheaper alternative to the long prime lenses that cost significantly more.

This is because in most cases prime lenses are faster than comparably priced zoom lenses.

An alternate and apparently somewhat older meaning of the term 'prime lens' is the main lens in a combination lens system.

As of 2009, photographic zoom lenses beyond about 3x cannot generally produce imaging quality on par with prime lenses.

High Speed (also called "Super Speed") f1.2 prime lenses were not available at the time.

Canon currently manufactures four 400mm prime lenses:

Prime lenses usually have a larger maximum aperture (smaller f-number) than zoom lenses.
