What Is A Zoom Lens Explained In Plain English In Less Than 10 Minutes. Hi and welcome to Episode 59 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. Not Google. Well there might be the odd thing that I had to look up but mainly this is stuff that I know.

Here is my answer
A zoom lens is a camera lens that has a variable focal length. Zoom lenses offer photographers greater flexibility over fixed, or prime lenses. Zoom lenses enable photographers to carry less camera lenses due to the variable focal lengths, and change lenses less often. Zoom lenses can provide excellent quality images.
