If you’re thinking of buying a telephoto lens, you’re in the right place. In today’s article, I’ll introduce you to the best telephoto objs you can find for your SLR camera. Of course, we’re talking about goals, for beginners and amateurs, because if you don’t engage professionally in long-distance photography, don’t you have to take out a mortgage to pay for a goal?As you’ll see, there are two types, some more affordable for beginners and tighter pockets and another slightly higher range group for more demanding fans on a looser budget. First, you need to know what you’re looking for and what budget you have, have you made that clear yet?Well, let’s move on!
There are several factors to discuss before you start buying a new lens:
- You know the most important points to keep in mind.
- Now.
- Before proceeding.
- I must insist on the same old thing.
- That there is no better equipment.
- There is a suitable equipment for each person and.
- Besides.
- That you do not expect it to be the one that best takes the photos.
- He will give you the opportunity.
- But the photos you take.
- However much you have the best lens or the best camera.
- If you don’t know how to take photos.
- If you don’t control light.
- Exposure.
- Composition.
- Etc.
- You won’t get great results.
- That said (for the nth time.
- In case someone is falling behind) I leave you a list of recommended telephoto objes (no priority.
- Okay?):.
It is a telephoto lens that offers one of the highest focal lengths. It is as popular as it is affordable (for the positive feedback it receives). It has a good stabilizer and offers excellent sharpness up to 300 mm and good sharpness up to 500 mm. Mm. Approximately 750 euros (for Nikon and Canon) on Amazon, although it is also available for Sigma.
Its drawbacks are that it has an excessive vignette throughout the focal range and it is very difficult (if not impossible) to focus automatically in low light situations.
Here you can see some images taken with this telephoto lens
A telephoto lens for Nikon with focus engine and stabilizer. If your budget is too tight this can be a very good option. The value for money is very good, you can buy it for 685 euros on Amazon and it does not weigh in excess It is ideal for beginners looking for portraits, moon photos, landscapes and daytime photos. Less suitable for action photography, macro or in low light.
The best thing is the sharpness offered by between 100 and 200 mm and the stabilization system.
Among its drawbacks is the loss of sharpness at the maximum aperture and from 200mm and that is not very bright.
Here are some examples of photographs taken with
If your budget is a little higher and/or you have already been immersed in the world of photography for a while, you can opt for this super target at moderate price, which does not reach the brightness of f / 2. 8 but has excellent image quality and costs almost half and is lighter (830 g. ). Your stabilization system improves by up to five steps over shooting speed, that sounds interesting, doesn’t it?It has a fixed brightness of f/4 and its price is about 1350 on Amazon. For telephoto objes that exceed a thousand euros, it is not one of the largest or heaviest, and its focus is very fast, so it is ideal for sports and action photography.
This is the first Tamron lens with USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive), an ultrasonic autofocus engine mechanism that facilitates fast focus, making it ideal for photographing sports, action and other moving objects. It also offers a vibration compensation (VC) system that helps stabilize the image over long focal lengths and in low light conditions. It would be less 70-200. La disadvantage is the lack of sharpness, especially at 300, but of course we are talking about a fairly cheap lens.
Is the stabilizer and value for money best?You find it for 300 euros (for Canon) and for Sony / Minolta.
To give you an idea, here’s a gallery of examples
Improving the previous telephoto lens, we find this ideal goal for slightly looser pockets and more demanding photographers who love nature photography, sports, fashion or journalism. High performance and with a construction that has nothing to envy of the big brands, dustproof and splash-proof. Very bright, with very fast focus and good image stabilization. Compatible with full frame cameras and available for Canon, Nikon and Sony (for the latter it is called SP 70-200mm f / 2. 8 Di USD, since it does not have VC stabilizer).
The most important drawback is that af / 2. 8, has a very marked strain and begins to decrease af /4 until it disappears completely.
Its price is 1,250 euros (approximately) for Canon and Nikon and 1,210 euros for Sony / Minolta.
In short, the value for money is very competitive compared to other large brands and high-end lenses and, of course, the sample ?:
If you’re from Canon and you’re looking for a Canon lens, are you also a beginner and love nature photography but not too much action photography?it’s your ideal lens at a very affordable price. And I’m saying you’re looking for a Canon lens because there are so many who agree that the TAMRON 70-300 I presented to you a moment ago is much better. But what we are looking for, for the price it has, 165 euros!Not bad. More than decent image quality, effective stabilizer, good brightness and sharpness (compared to those in this range, huh?Don’t get excited).
The worst thing about this telephoto lens is that the approach is not excessively fast, so I told you at first that it is not the most suitable for action photography.
I’ll leave you a little gallery to get an idea of the kind of photos you might take with:
This telephoto lens is one of Canon’s best in optics, its users are delighted and openly recommend it. It has excellent waterproofness, a very good construction and weighs only 700g. The optical quality, as I just mentioned, is excellent at all its focal lengths and the autofocus very fast even in low light.
The biggest drawback is that it has no stabilizer and at these distances it is quite important, so you will have to pull a tripod, the lack of stabilizer is what makes its price so interesting for the optics it presents (about 600 euros). If you have a larger budget and think the stabilizer is essential for you, you can opt for the IS version that costs about 990 euros.

Keep in mind that each user has an ideal goal and that your needs don’t have to be the same as everyone else’s. Think carefully about what you are looking for and do not let yourself be guided by “the most expensive is better” because here does not work this coin, I hope I have clarified something in this maelstrom of offers, models and brands, if you have made the decision to buy a telephoto lens but still do not know which, these other items can help:
