A telephoto lens is a type of long-focus lens that is used to magnify distant objects. Telephoto lenses are often used in photography and videography to capture images of wildlife, sports, and other subjects that are far away.
Telephoto lenses come in a variety of focal lengths, from short telephoto lenses that are only slightly longer than normal lenses to super telephoto lenses that can magnify objects by several hundred times. The focal length of a telephoto lens is measured in millimeters, and the longer the focal length, the greater the magnification.
