Telephoto lens example
Demonstrated with a mannequin in Rolin's 3D virtual studio.

What it is

135mm and longer: space compresses and the background stacks behind the subject.

When to use it

A surveillance feel, isolation in a crowd, heat-haze streets.

When not to

When depth must read.

Often confused with

  • Wide lens

    Wide expands space; telephoto compresses it.

Common generation mistakes

  • SymptomDepth stays deep and it doesn't read as telephoto.

    FixState telephoto compression with the background stacked close behind.
