Question by Felicia: What lens is good for sports photography? easy ten.?
I want to buy a telephoto lens for my camera (panasonic dmc-fz18) and am a little confused. Its been reccomended that I get a telephoto converter lens but when i read a description of what those are for, it says “Still Photography”. I want a telephoto lens specifically for sports photography …so what should I be looking for exactly? Maybe I’m looking at the wrong type of lenses? is there a difference between a telephoto converter lens and a telephoto lens? Tn Pts. Thanks!!!

“Still Photography” simply means a still photo camera. Its not made for use on video cameras.

Your camera is a fixed lens camera so you will only be able to use a telephoto converter. Typically telephoto lens means it fits on a camera which has the ability to completely change lenses although some converter sellers refer to converters as lenses.
