The lens is a fundamental part of any camera. It’s what creates the image on the camera sensor (or film). Some cameras have a fixed, non-removable lens while others offer interchangeable lenses. Your choice of lens has a major impact on the appearance of your pictures, including the lens’s focal length (angle of view) and its aperture setting (which you may or may not be able to adjust). At a simple level the lens is just the thing on the front of the camera, but on a more advanced level lenses open up a whole world of photographic choices, buying decisions and technical comparisons.
