Long-focus lens


A lens that is designed to magnify distant objects and has a focal length that is greater than the diagonal measurement of the image sensor or film that is being utilized. In terms of the 35mm format, this refers to any lens that has a focal length that is greater than the so-called "standard" 50mm.
