The camera lens is an essential consideration in photography and cinematography. Camera lenses are on the front line of how an image is captured but not all are created equal. In this episode of The Shot List, we’ll walk through the gamut of camera lenses to differentiate both their inherent qualities and how they each tell a different story.
Let’s begin by making an important distinction between a zoom lens vs prime lens. Within each of these categories can be a variety of camera lenses but what separates them has to do with focal length. A prime lens has a fixed focal length while a zoom lens can operate through a range of focal lengths. There are pros and cons within the zoom lens vs prime lens debate, which we will cover in detail in the video.
The different types of camera lenses are mostly divided into categories based on their focal length, measured in millimeters. Focal length is the distance between the back of the lens and the image plane - the shorter the distance, the wider the field of view. For example, extreme wide angle lenses and fisheye lenses capture the widest field of view. The field of view with a telephoto lens is much more narrow but, in exchange, you can photograph subjects at a greater distance.
A standard lens is any lens where the focal length matches the size of the camera’s sensor. This gives the image a “natural” look that best approximates human vision. A macro lens is designed to capture subjects in extremely close proximity. Whereas most camera lenses align their elements perpendicularly to the image plane, a tilt-shift lens has a unique function that can “tilt” or “shift” that alignment. This leads to both subtle and extreme distortions.
Each of these camera lenses has unique properties that shape the look and texture of the image. As you work through your shot list, keep these options in mind and you’ll be that much closer to realizing your vision.

@Kalp Parashar varies significantly depending on the type of lens and the brand
To what sensor or film stock size do the focal lengths apply? 35mm film, Super35? Super16? APS-C, FullFrame? ;-)
Thank You Lord for helping us with our dreams and our lives 🙏 ❤
IF YOU ARE READING THIS, DO NOT TAKE THAT VACCINE ‼️‼️‼️
It is an abomination they are trying to disguise as medicine. But Jesus said by sorcery were all nations deceived and in the original translation that word is pharmakia which is where we get the word " pharmacy " from ❤🙏🏼
I love the intro song, could you post it just a small clip I need it
A Big salute for the Narrator who often doesn't get any appreciate from people.
He's the best!
@@StudioBinder he is
@@StudioBinder who’s your narrator by the way 🤣
@@lomokino3310 Plot twist: it's you
Is he the guy who did The Stanley Parable?
Who needs a film school when you have such quality info presented in such beautiful manner by such quality channels? well done guys!
This shits all over my 2-year photography course, such a great presentation.
His voice is so soothing aswell
Thats what Im sayin..
Hope it helps!
If this video (absolutely well done) provides more info than a University course, then.. there’s something wrong with education
The narrator's work is incredible
He's the best!
This channel is basically the Bible to Filmmaking !! Thank you so much StudioBinder
Cheers!
I used to watch movies in a normal way as a generic audience. When I found this channel back a year ago, I am now watching and analyzing the technical side of film making. This channel changed my perception of film making. Thank you studio binder. The only channel I allowed for notifications. I wish one day I could see the narrator.
Thanks for watching!
@@StudioBinder Same, my wife and I now call out shot sizes and types etc when we watch movies. It has actually brought us closer together!
The same happens when you are a music producer, you're just listening to the soundtrack analyzing the sounds and mix. It's crazy, fun and interesting
Fantastic writeup
His name is Paul Gregory.
Great video! Everybody needs to see this!
I like your videos too
These series are so well organized with easy to understand breakdowns to tie in with examples of the cinematographic greats. We are all lucky to receive this information for free!! In fact - the series is becoming a popular reference and shared in my industry (vfx/animation). Even though we're using virtual 3D cameras all these principles can be applied even down to the lens choice, as we are able to copy the specs to mimic the "real-world" lens.
We love hearing news like this, thanks for sharing!
When I achieve my dream of becoming a filmmaker I owe it all to you guys
We'll be waiting for the shoutout!
Me too. Because I cannot afford to go to film direction learning institute because of money and the only way I'm learning is studiobinder. Thanks a lot studiobinder
I literally cried watching this, I have never noticed such fine details in the movies that's been shown as an example here.
Hats off to the StudioBinder team.
I get so happy when this channel uploads a video. I’ve never been to film school but I’m really interested in filmmaking! Thank you for existing!
Thankful to exist! haha
I really love this channel, so informative and super high production . Thanks for all the work that must go into creating each episode.
Sometimes I wish these videos would never end
All good things do 😔
I'm grateful to you all. Your videos teach me SOOOOOOOO much. I'm learning from a few other places, but these videos are so concise, and informative. I literally take notes and go envision my next scenes with the knowledge of the lens, frame, or sound. THANK YOU!!! I promise to pay it forward!
glad to hear it's helped you. We'll be waiting for the shout-out! haha
This must be one of the most well made videos I've seen on CZcams; well done indeed
Impossible to decide. So many good lenses. I could watch shot types for days. Beautiful work.
All great tools, we just have to be good craftsmen
13:26 The plane of focus can be *tilted* left/right/up/down. The shifting doesn't change the plane of focus, just which part of the image circle you want.
When I become a succesful screenwriter one day, I will owe all my hard work to you guys. You guys made learn everything about a film. Brought me to new levels and made my day. Thanks a lot you guys!!!
Amazing work guys! Learned a lot so far...you should create a similar series about video editing! It'd be so helpful
The narrator really makes this content amazing to watch and listen to. I hope you always keep this guy, his voice is perfect for this.
Estos videos son pura calidad de enseñanza, tienen una capacidad para simplificar y explicar todo tan bien, que gran trabajo hacen en studiobinder
I finally found a National Geographic Channel for filmmakers! Salute to the creators. This would be the best tutorial I ever had. A big thanks to the team. This channel deserves a million subscribers!

The Telephoto lens was widely used in those classic films that were shot on Petrero Hill & Stainer Street San Francisco. Thank you Studiobinder for this wonderful lecture.

so true😂
Good luck on your exam!
@@StudioBinder thank you so much! Means a lot coming from you

You guys are absolute geniuses!
A big big Thankyou!❤️❤️❤️
Happy filming!
Top top content! I appreciate all the work you guys put in.
This channel is a great guide, a great Guru to people like me who couldn't go to any film school or institute.
please do more of ultimate guide it is very helpful I see my self getting the core concepts from these series
Great Channel, please keep going!!
1st video in years that kept me attentive from beginning to end. M.A!
So good I’m glad I found this
Great primer on lenses! I think it needs a point of context when referencing focal lengths. All of the numbers quoted are correct for the 35mm format. Change the sensor size and the relationship to focal length will change. A 50mm prime is a standard lens on 35mm full frame and kind of standard on APS-C. The same 50mm lens would be a telephoto on micro 4/3 and a wide angle in IMAX (and probably have significant exposure falloff at the edges of the frame of IMAX as well). Test your gear, learn, and know what it can do for you... and have fun!
I am grateful for this video
So lucky to find this channel! Thanks for sharing🤓🤓
This Channel is dropping Diam everyday!!!! every second i spend is worthy
