Snapping photographs is no longer what it once was. Before the development of digital cameras, film cameras dominated the world of photography. Today, it is a dying art. However, film photography will forever hold a place in the heart of a true photographer. There is nothing like waiting for the right moment to capture the perfect picture. With the emergence of digital photography, that aspect of the art form has disappeared.

If you have not updated with the times and are still an avid film photographer, then having a quality john lewis camera lens is certainly in your wishes. Many photographers will tell you that the quality of the photograph does not depend on the body of the camera, but rather on the lens. Do not limit yourself with a low quality lens or a lens that does not suit your needs. Expand on your collection with a wide angle (18-55 mm) and telephoto lens (110-200 mm); if you want to avoid the hassle of carrying multiple lenses, find yourself a quality all purpose lens (55-200 mm).

On the other hand, if you are just looking to snap a couple of photos and are not too concerned with the quality or the lens, then look to point and shoot digital cameras. Point and shoot cameras are great for the casual photographer or as a backup for your DSLR or film camera. The price of point and shoots is rapidly dropping and you can now get a more than capable model without putting a big dent in your wallet.

The word “photography” is derived from the Greek words for light and writing.
