Summary
And we've made it to the end of the tetralogy, and we're going beyond the portrait length to talk about telephotos, which, for our purposes, are lenses that are 200mm and longer. These might not always be the first lens you reach for in your regular photography, but they are still powerful tools for events, nature, and even getting close when you can't do so safely. The lenses featured in today's show include the AI Nikkor 300mm f/4.5, AI-S Nikkor 200mm f/4, Leitz 180mm f/3.4 APO, Canon FD 300mm f/5.6, AI-S Nikkor 80-200mm f/4, Olympus 75-150mm f/4, AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4, Vivtar 135mm f/2.8.
