Overview

We currently have three different types of lenses for use with the Canon cameras. 100mm Macro, 50mm, and 14mm wide-angle. Each lens works differently and produces an image with different characteristics. Each lens also has settings that will produce optimal quality images.

Optimal F-stop setting

• f/8.0

50mm

14mm Wide-angle
