👉 The term 'telephoto lens' refers to a camera lens with a focal length greater than standard telephoto lenses. They are designed for capturing small, close-up images or videos, often used in professional photography and videography. The term 'telephoto' implies that the lens can be extended further than the typical 28-70mm zoom range (typical for 35mm format), making it suitable for a wide range of subjects like portraits, wildlife, landscapes, and close-ups.
