Wide-to-Telephoto Zooms
What I have always wanted is a compact, sharp, and affordable 20-600mm f-2.8 zoom with macro capability. Imagine covering all your shots with just one lens.
A normal telephoto lens will let you take nice photographs of tame birds that are in close proximity to your camera setup. For example I recently took a wonderful photograph of an Australian Kookaburra that was sitting on my backyard clothes line.
Tips for Telephoto Lens Photographs
Would you like to emphasize the subject of your photograph? Here's one solution: use a telephoto lens and get a close-up view.
Inverted telephoto lens
A lens construction which gives a short focal length with a long back focus or lens angle lenses to be produced for small format cameras, where space is required for mirrors, shutters, etc.

Do-It-All Telephotos
By George Lepp
Q) I can only afford one long telephoto for bird photography. Is there a particular focal length that's more versatile than others?
Photographers love telephoto lenses. We can’t always get close to the subjects we want to shoot, and a telephoto lens allows us to fill a significant part of the frame with them. That makes a picture with a lot of visual impact.
-Reflecting telephoto lens. The overall physical length of a telephoto lens is usually only about one half of its focal length.
Telephoto
Telephoto camera lenses may be the most difficult type of camera lens to purchase. Telephoto lenses are typically the most expensive, as the quality of the glass makes a big difference in long-range applications.
Telephoto Lens
A lens that makes a subject appear larger on film than does a normal lens at the same camera-to-subject distance.
Telephoto Lens
A Telephoto Lens has a long and fixed focal length (100-800mm). These long lenses enable you to compress a distance (and compress the sense of depth, as well) and pick out specific objects from far off.
Telephoto Compression
When photographing a group or field of flowers, it is often desirable to have the flowers appear close together. However, when a wide angle or normal lens is used, the flowers may appear to be relatively far apart.
Telephoto lenses have focal lengths that range from about 85mm (great for portraits) to super-telephoto lenses of 300mm-600mm (lenses in this range are often used by sports and wildlife photographers).
Telephoto zoom
Telephoto and other long-focal-length lenses are best known for making distant objects appear magnified. This makes them particularly useful for capturing wildlife.
Telephoto - These cameras have a greater distance from the lens to the film. The higher the telephoto the smaller the view of the camera.
TFT - Thin Film Transistor. This is the technology which is employed in making LCD screens.
Telephoto Lens A specific type of long-focus lens in which a positive (converging) lens element is placed in front of the diaphragm and a negative (diverging) lens element is placed at the rear of the diaphragm.
Telephoto (long end of zoom)
This is less of a direct comparison as the cameras have slightly different focal length ranges, but gives you an idea of the kind of range offered (these were shot from the same tripod position as the previous shots).

Telephoto Mode.
Lastly, we have telephoto mode. Similarly to Macro, movement is magnified at the lens extremes. The longer the focal length, the faster shutter speed should be if you want to get sharp photos.
Telephoto Lens: A lens of longer focal length which brings subjects closer so enables a shot to be taken from further away.
Telephoto effect. A change in perspective caused by using a long-focal-length lens very far from all parts of a scene. Objects appear closer together than they really are.
Telephoto lens. See Long-focal-length lens.
Telephoto lens. See Long-focal-length lens.
Thru-the-lens. See TTL.
TIFF. A popular lossless image format used in digital photography.
Telephoto Lens: Lenses whose focal lengths are longer than 50mm (in 35mm photography). Telephoto lenses enlarge the subject size.
TELEPHOTO LENS- You can think of telephoto as the opposite of wide angle. This is the range from about 55mm and above. Film cameras can have lenses that range up to and above 1,000mm. With digital cameras, most only go to about 115mm.
Telephoto - A lens with a longer focal length and a smaller field of view than a standard primary camera lens. A telephoto is useful for enlarging distant subjects.
Telephoto

Telephoto - The focal length that gives you the narrowest angle of coverage, good for bringing distant objects closer.
TFT - Refers to the type of hi-res color LCD screen used in digicams. TFT = Thin Film Transistor.
Telephoto lens. A lens or lens setting that magnifies an image.
Test strip. One of a series of test exposures on a piece of printing paper, then processed to see which gives the most satisfactory result.
TELEPHOTO LENS - A lens with a narrow angle of view, a longer-than-normal focal length, the ability to magnify images, and exhibiting relatively shallow depth of field.
Tele (telephoto)
A telephoto lens has a longer focal length and narrower field of view than a normal lens and enlarges distant subjects. Depth of field decreases as focal length increases.
Go Telephoto
The focal length of your lens is very important. You need to understand the nature of your lenses and how to use them to your advantage.
Telephoto Settings
A good tip is to zoom in as much as possible, or choose a telephoto lens. I've achieved much better results by using strong telephoto.

35mm Film (135 Format)
Do not confuse ‘35mm' lens with a focal length of 35mm. The former refers to traditional 35mm film camera format (also known as 135 format).
Telephoto lenses are those with focal lengths over around 85mm. They are used to pull in far away objects and photograph subjects you can't physically get close to, whether that is a wild animal or the top of a mountain.
Telephoto lenses compress the visual space, causing foreground and background elements to appear closer together. In contrast, wide-angle lenses stretch the visual space.

telephoto lens
The telephoto lens has the reversed characteristics: all elements of the landscape are pushed against each other so to speak - the image suggests distance rather than width. The perspective is compressed.
Telephoto lenses - are great at taking portraits and close-ups.
Wide-angle lenses - as the name implies, they are wider and great for landscapes and indoor photography such as taking a photo of a room.
Telephoto lenses and close up lenses and flash equipment form a part of certain trick effects one wishes to create.

A telephoto lens is a particular optical construction used in the design of many long-focus lenses. A simple telephoto lens has a convex lens group at the front and a concave lens group at the rear.
With telephoto, depth of field is narrow, the long focal lengths make hand-holding tricky, and you're often shooting subjects that don't stand still.
Lens, Telephoto
Makes subject appear closer they it actually is. A telephoto lens has a longer focal length and narrower field of view than a normal lens. See also Focal Length.
Try a telephoto lens to frame backlit fields and showcase patterns or textures. And place backlit subjects against dark backgrounds for dramatic effect.
Long, or telephoto lenses, are (correspondingly) any lens with a focal length greater than normal, which is greater than 50mm for 35mm format. Common lengths are 85mm and 105mm.
"using a telephoto lens (anything above 50mm) won't push the background away-it'll bring it closer. Telephoto lenses compress the depth of the image; wide angle lenses expand the depth of the image." ...
Using long telephoto lenses
Slow shutter speed because of limited light as with night photography
Slow shutter speed because you want to blur the scene to get special effects
Macro photography
Consistent camera position - studio photography ...
Inverted telephoto lens
Lens constructed so that the back focus (distance from rear of lens to film) is greater than the focal length of the lens. This construction allows room for mirror movement when short focus lenses are fitted to SLR cameras.
Canon make telephoto zooms which fall mostly into two basic categories - very cheap slow lenses with mediocre optical quality and very expensive fast lenses with fabulous optical quality. There are few intermediate choices, though the 70-300 4.5-5.
When using a telephoto you should realize that depth of field is very shallow at wide apertures. Focusing therefore becomes very critical if you want your subject to appear sharp in the picture.
300mm = Super Telephoto
Please note also that focal length has a direct effect on perspective.
