The camera lens is an essential consideration in photography and cinematography. Camera lenses are on the front line of how an image is captured but not all are created equal. In this episode of The Shot List, we’ll walk through the gamut of camera lenses to differentiate both their inherent qualities and how they each tell a different story.
Let’s begin by making an important distinction between a zoom lens vs prime lens. Within each of these categories can be a variety of camera lenses but what separates them has to do with focal length. A prime lens has a fixed focal length while a zoom lens can operate through a range of focal lengths. There are pros and cons within the zoom lens vs prime lens debate, which we will cover in detail in the video.
The different types of camera lenses are mostly divided into categories based on their focal length, measured in millimeters. Focal length is the distance between the back of the lens and the image plane - the shorter the distance, the wider the field of view. For example, extreme wide angle lenses and fisheye lenses capture the widest field of view. The field of view with a telephoto lens is much more narrow but, in exchange, you can photograph subjects at a greater distance.
A standard lens is any lens where the focal length matches the size of the camera’s sensor. This gives the image a “natural” look that best approximates human vision. A macro lens is designed to capture subjects in extremely close proximity. Whereas most camera lenses align their elements perpendicularly to the image plane, a tilt-shift lens has a unique function that can “tilt” or “shift” that alignment. This leads to both subtle and extreme distortions.
Each of these camera lenses has unique properties that shape the look and texture of the image. As you work through your shot list, keep these options in mind and you’ll be that much closer to realizing your vision.

@Kalp Parashar varies significantly depending on the type of lens and the brand
To what sensor or film stock size do the focal lengths apply? 35mm film, Super35? Super16? APS-C, FullFrame? ;-)
Thank You Lord for helping us with our dreams and our lives 🙏 ❤
IF YOU ARE READING THIS, DO NOT TAKE THAT VACCINE ‼️‼️‼️
It is an abomination they are trying to disguise as medicine. But Jesus said by sorcery were all nations deceived and in the original translation that word is pharmakia which is where we get the word " pharmacy " from ❤🙏🏼
I love the intro song, could you post it just a small clip I need it
A Big salute for the Narrator who often doesn't get any appreciate from people.
He's the best!
@@StudioBinder he is
@@StudioBinder who’s your narrator by the way 🤣
@@lomokino3310 Plot twist: it's you
Is he the guy who did The Stanley Parable?
Who needs a film school when you have such quality info presented in such beautiful manner by such quality channels? well done guys!
This shits all over my 2-year photography course, such a great presentation.
His voice is so soothing aswell
Thats what Im sayin..
Hope it helps!
If this video (absolutely well done) provides more info than a University course, then.. there’s something wrong with education
I used to watch movies in a normal way as a generic audience. When I found this channel back a year ago, I am now watching and analyzing the technical side of film making. This channel changed my perception of film making. Thank you studio binder. The only channel I allowed for notifications. I wish one day I could see the narrator.
Thanks for watching!
@@StudioBinder Same, my wife and I now call out shot sizes and types etc when we watch movies. It has actually brought us closer together!
The same happens when you are a music producer, you're just listening to the soundtrack analyzing the sounds and mix. It's crazy, fun and interesting
Fantastic writeup
His name is Paul Gregory.
The narrator's work is incredible
He's the best!
This channel is basically the Bible to Filmmaking !! Thank you so much StudioBinder
Cheers!
Great video! Everybody needs to see this!
I like your videos too
When I achieve my dream of becoming a filmmaker I owe it all to you guys
We'll be waiting for the shoutout!
Me too. Because I cannot afford to go to film direction learning institute because of money and the only way I'm learning is studiobinder. Thanks a lot studiobinder
I literally cried watching this, I have never noticed such fine details in the movies that's been shown as an example here.
Hats off to the StudioBinder team.
Sometimes I wish these videos would never end
All good things do 😔
These series are so well organized with easy to understand breakdowns to tie in with examples of the cinematographic greats. We are all lucky to receive this information for free!! In fact - the series is becoming a popular reference and shared in my industry (vfx/animation). Even though we're using virtual 3D cameras all these principles can be applied even down to the lens choice, as we are able to copy the specs to mimic the "real-world" lens.
We love hearing news like this, thanks for sharing!
Impossible to decide. So many good lenses. I could watch shot types for days. Beautiful work.
All great tools, we just have to be good craftsmen
I really love this channel, so informative and super high production . Thanks for all the work that must go into creating each episode.
I get so happy when this channel uploads a video. I’ve never been to film school but I’m really interested in filmmaking! Thank you for existing!
Thankful to exist! haha
Amazing work guys! Learned a lot so far...you should create a similar series about video editing! It'd be so helpful
The narrator really makes this content amazing to watch and listen to. I hope you always keep this guy, his voice is perfect for this.
This must be one of the most well made videos I've seen on UA-cam; well done indeed
I love how Deakins just had his own lens made
Good one
Finally, the most awaited answers I am searching for.
Your quest is over :)
@@StudioBinder Nah! Still a long way to go....
@@koushikreddy5885 upcoming director in tollywood eh?
@@Kyle-lx6ru A wannabe actually. How did you guessed by the way?
@@koushikreddy5885 im on the same journey as you bruv. trying to become one in kollywood

DUUUDE half way threw this video and I AM SHOCKED at how good it is. WOW! i'm probably going to watch this a few more times
13:26 The plane of focus can be *tilted* left/right/up/down. The shifting doesn't change the plane of focus, just which part of the image circle you want.
from studio binder I've learned more about film and it's fundamentals than any other channel out there, the information presented is simple, easy to understand and to the point
Happy to help!
This series is amazing! When can we expect episode 8??
Best best video ever on the youtube related to lenses

Who else sees a bigger picture with these guys? The way the narrator explains every point makes me feel like am the next filmmaker in the making. Kudos. From Kenya
Excellent walkthrough of lenses and the purposes they serve. Looking forward to the next episode.
stay tuned!
The moment I saw you videos I subscribed coz genuinely no one describes the way your videos describes the details of any cinematic videography. Seriously am getting lots of knowledge by your tips. Keep it up
Great to hear, happy filming!
So lucky to find this channel! Thanks for sharing🤓🤓
Top top content! I appreciate all the work you guys put in.
This video is outstanding! Thank you so much, SUBSCRIBED!
Excellent content! Super clear and very informative!!!!!!!!! Wow
Class video, gotta say all the videos I've watched on this channel have been done interesting and in depth. Thank you for amazing content
That's what we're here for 👌
This is one of the best channels of the entire youtube, congratz.
Thank you so much, we love your videos a lot! One of the best film school on the interwebs so far :-)
Just a clarification: When you speak of extreme wide angle of 18-24 mm and use shots from 'The Revenant': As far as I know they went often even wider than 18 mm. They used an Arri Alexa 65 digital camera with lenses starting from 12mm.
These videos are soooo amazing. So simple but you learn so much and even really technical and special things make sense
That's our goal!
These videos are absolutely invaluable.
Thank You sooooo much for this series. So interesting and well made!
Glad you liked it :)
I’m impressed by your AE lenses animation. It feels very organic
This is brilliantly informative. Thank you.
4:45 Extreme Wide wide angle start at 10/11mm / For The Revenant, Emmanuel Lubezki used lenses between 12mm and 21mm on the wide Alexa 65 sensor as said MR Pernickety.
You made the best video series I saw on YT. Thanks and congrats.
