Photography Lenses and Accessories Reviews



Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II Wide Angle USM AF Lens

"Was trying to find this lens everywhere and it was just simply not available. Gave Samy's a shot and They had some of the most hard to find items I needed in stock! Would definitely recommend this lens for anyone with the EF or RF Series camera it is still, to this day, a fantastic lens to have in your collection."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


What Camera Lenses Should You Have?

An 18-55mm kit lens is a good all-around photo lens to start with. If you bought your camera as a kit with a lens already included with your purchase, you probably have a similar lens. Depending on the style of photography you like to shoot, you might also want to add a wide-angle, telephoto, zoom, or macro lens next. The wide-angle lens will allow you to capture expansive landscapes or make a small room look larger. A telephoto zoom lens will make far-off subjects appear closer, while the macro lens will enable you to photograph extremely close-up for crisp detail shots.

What Do Lens Attachments Do?

It depends on the type, but lens attachments are camera lens accessories that are mounted on the lens to provide a function it didn't previously have. Samy's carries a variety of these accessories, including teleconverters to increase the lens focal range, lens adapters that allow you to use a photography lens on a camera body it was not originally made to work with, and lens filters to either protect your camera lens from damage or enhance the lens's light performance among other functions.

Are Camera Lenses Universal?

No! Photo lenses are not universally compatible among camera lines and different brands. While some brands may be used with a proper lens adapter, it's often recommended to use camera lenses manufactured by the camera brand that you are using. The camera brand lenses are guaranteed to be compatible with certain camera models and will produce stunning images since they are meant to be used together.

What Are Some Types of Camera Lenses?

There are many different types of lenses for cameras. Some common photo lens types include 35 mm, zoom, wide-angle, telephoto, prime, fisheye, long-focus, ultra-wide-angle, macro, large format, normal, tilt-shift, auxiliary, and more. Many professionals and camera enthusiasts will have a collection of camera lenses suitable for different types of shoots, as each lens has unique photo capturing qualities.

What Is a Telephoto Lens?

Telephoto camera lenses for photography and videography are used to bring faraway objects or subject matter into focus. Telephoto lenses use long focal lengths compared to a standard camera lens. They are often bulkier and heavier than typical photo lenses, and because of this, using a tripod with a telephoto lens is often recommended.

How to Clean a Camera Lens?

When cleaning your camera lens, be sure you only use proper lens cleaning supplies. Use an air blower to remove dirt and dust, and then add a small amount of lens cleaning solution to a microfiber cloth, and wipe the photography lens carefully in a circular motion, removing any oil, smudges, or fingerprints. Be careful when cleaning your camera lens, as the lens is very fragile.

What Are Fisheye Lenses?

Wide-angle lenses that produce a curved and distorted image are referred to as fisheye lenses because the images resemble a fisheye shape. Fisheye lenses are ideal for capturing photos underwater with a panoramic view.

What Do Neutral Density Filters Do?

One of the many lens filters available, neutral density (ND) filters reduce the amount of light that is able to enter the camera lens. Neutral density filters allow videographers and photographers to control the exposure and shutter speed, as well as use wide apertures and motion blur to achieve creative visual effects. Often used in landscape photography, neutral density filters enable photographers to capture exquisite detail in photos, even in the brightest lighting conditions. ND filters reduce the intensity of light wavelengths without compromising color balance.

How to Store Camera Lenses

Use lens caps or covers to safely protect the fragile photography lenses when not in use. Camera lenses should be stored in a dry and cool environment to prevent mold growth. Many professionals store their lenses in a hard camera case or bag that has sections built in for camera lens storage.
