A listener asked me to do an episode strictly on lenses, so here it is. If you want me to explain something, just hit the “Send us a text” link on the podcast feed, and you can have your own almost personalised episode of the podcast. How utterly splendid.

Lenses attach to cameras and focus what you point your camera at onto the camera sensor. So, lenses are quite important in photography terms!

In this episode, I tell you.

  • What are the main types of lenses?
  • What focal length is (quickly).
  • What aperture is (not as quickly).
  • What does this stuff all mean to you?

I also want to tell you

  • What if you use a phone to take photos?
  • What I do.

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in less than 27 (ish) minutes!

What is not to love? How utterly splendid.
