crypticum<\/em><\/a> in Anjozorobe, Canon 7D Mark II, Tamron 150-600 mm\/5-6.3, half-frame, f\/8, 1\/400 s, ISO 400, manual mode, freehand, available light<\/p><\/div>\nTelephoto lenses are lenses with focal lengths from 65 to 1200 mm. With them, you can “get close” to distant subjects. Simply put, the higher the mm number, the farther away chameleons can still be photographed. However, telephoto lenses usually weigh a lot and have a considerable size. For chameleons, telephoto lenses are only suitable if you want to photograph animals far up in the tree or from a distance of several meters. In Madagascar, we rarely use telephoto lenses for chameleons.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Wide-angle lenses<\/span><\/h4>\nWide-angle lenses have a focal length of 14-35 mm. They capture much more than our eyes can see in a single frame. Wide-angle shots are therefore often used for landscapes, for example. Chameleons can be photographed with the wide-angle lens, but usually have to be photographed so close that the animals do not tolerate it well.<\/p>\n
