Get the most out of your camera with a new lens! There are so many models to choose from... You're probably wondering which lens to choose for your holidays. Find one with our short guide. And don't forget to tell us which lens you're taking on holiday!

A lens for holidays

Want to buy the right lens for your holiday? You're doing well to look into universal superzooms! You benefit from a wide focal range, don't have to carry too much stuff and are very well equipped for most purposes. Compared with a fixed focal length or a lens with a smaller zoom range, you do make compromises in terms of brightness and image quality, but the universal field of application and good value for money make the superzoom a multi-talent - ideal on holiday!

Lenses for landscapes

For landscape photos, it's important to be able to capture as many elements as possible, so that the photo can give an overall view. For this, super-wide-angle lenses are the most suitable. As the name suggests, you get a super-wide angle on the image and distortion is minimal.

Lenses for your city break

For street photography and the motifs of your city tours, your lens should above all be small and light - and unobtrusive. Fixed focal length lenses are therefore perfect. They offer the best conditions for long-lasting photography in bright light - even at night. Do you prefer to photograph an overview of the city? Then again, as described above, you're best served with a wide-angle lens to capture the maximum in an image. Street portraits are most successful with standard or telephoto focal lengths.

Lenses for your safari

Those who want to stay away from wild animals, but still want to get a close-up shot of them, can't escape the telephoto lens. Even if it's big and heavy, there's nothing better. It's the only lens that allows you to photograph distant animals without putting yourself in danger and capturing every detail. The flexibility of a zoom lens is also ideal when animals are on the move.
