Fast lens

A lens that has a maximum aperture that is far larger than what is typically available for that particular focal length or zoom range. This enables the use of a faster shutter speed. Not only are fast lenses helpful when the available light is poor, but they can also be of tremendous assistance when trying to blur the backdrop more than is often possible.
