camera lens
A camera lens is an optical component that directs and focuses light onto the camera's sensor or film to capture an image. It consists of multiple glass elements that work together to control how light enters the camera, affecting the sharpness, focus, and depth of the image. Lenses come in various types, including wide-angle, telephoto, and zoom, each suited for different photography needs. The quality of the lens significantly influences the overall image clarity and detail.
