How do you choose a lens for a mirrorless camera?

You can't just use any lens on any camera, because lenses have a unique lens mount. This is the end of the lens that you screw onto your camera. Lenses for mirrorless cameras differ from the ones for SLR cameras. In addition, various brands make lenses for mirrorless cameras, which can't be exchanged. For example, a Canon lens doesn't work on a Sony mirrorless camera or the other way around. Make sure you look into lenses by the brand of your camera.

The object you want to capture determines which lens is suitable for you. If you like to photograph landscapes, you should choose a wide-angle lens. These lenses have a focal length of 10 to 24mm. To photograph wild animals, you'll often have to zoom in a lot. You can do this with a telephoto lens of 100-400mm. If you see a giraffe in the distance while on safari, you can capture it clearly. For portraits, you can use a lens of 35mm or 50mm, for example.

You've determined which objects you want to photograph, and you can choose between a zoom or prime lens. A zoom lens is versatile in use. You can photograph landscapes and tall buildings, but small details too. If you want to capture different objects, you should choose a zoom lens. Use a prime lens for specific types of photography, like potraits. Prime lenses can't zoom. The advantage of prime lenses is that they're sensitive to light. They offer a high image quality because they focus on 1 focal point.
