Hand-held Shooting with Longer Lenses
The most popular telephoto lenses cover angles of view from between about 34 degrees (70mm in 35mm format) to eight degrees (around 300mm). Interestingly, the longer lenses have special characteristics that set them apart from shorter teles and require more skill and technical knowledge to be used optimally. In this feature we’ll concentrate on lenses with focal lengths greater than 200mm.
