Technique tips: Normal lenses

Choose a normal focal length lens when you want:

• To show relative subject sizes and distances (perspective) the way the eye actually sees them.

• To take group shots, or full length pictures of individuals (Closer individual shots may have noticeable distortion of facial features.)

• A fast lens – an f/1.4 wide angle lens is much more expensive than an f/1.4 normal lens of equal quality.

• To use accessories such as supplementary (close up) lenses.

• To photography architecture and scenic views, except when you cannot get far enough away to take in the entire subject.
