Along the same lines of “What camera should I buy?” is the next most common question that I am asked…”What does this type of lens do?” Number two on my list of the best blog posts is “Camera Lenses Explained.” If you are wondering what lens to buy for portraits or what a macro lens is, you will find your answer here.
