Canon Vintage Camera Lens

If you own a vintage camera, or simply want to recreate the effect you can only get from the older style of photography, a Canon vintage camera lens might be just the thing you're looking for.

It could be that your Canon camera is a vintage one itself, so you're looking for a suitable lens to fit it. Or perhaps you have a different brand of camera that would suit a vintage lens. Either way, there are plenty to choose from.

Types available

There is great range of vintage camera lens available, all set to help you take better photos. Telephoto lenses and wide angle lenses adjust the scale of the images you can capture. Bear in mind, different sizes of lens are designed to fit on different aperture sizes of camera.

Telephoto lens

A telephoto lens is a classic magnifying lens that brings objects that are far away into sharp focus, taking a close up picture of them. You will often find people using these type of lenses when sightseeing, as they enable you to capture more details of the buildings and famous sights you're photographing.

Wide angle lenses

If you want to take in more of the landscape with your photo, then wide angle lenses allow you to do this, more so than a standard lens. For example, if you're looking to take a picture of a particularly wide building, or maybe a long street scene or similar, a wide angle lens can help capture everything for you.

Sizes

Different sizes of Canon vintage camera lenses are usually measured by the size of the aperture, essentially the opening inner section of a camera lens. There are many different sizes available, defined as f/2, f/4, f4.5, and continuing in the same vein.
