Question: What’s the name / specification for a camera lens which gives fast shutter speed in low light conditions?

I know the bigger the aperture the faster the shutter speed, but is there a technical name for such a lens? I want to get one that I can use in dim lighting conditions but don’t know what exactly to ask for.

Not a tripod or remote shutter release, got those already!
I’ve seen some lenses that are really fat looking, almost like miniature astro-telescopes, are these the ones with really wide aperture settings?

Answer: You’re simply looking for a “fast” lens.
That would be one with a f/1.2 or f/1.4 aperture.
The f/1.2 being the fastest.
By the way, there are lenses called “ultra-fast” with openings as wide as f/1.0…about the “fastest” lens you can get.

The word “fast” in this context, does NOT necessarily relate to the shutter speed, but instead the ability of the lens to capture light quickly (fast) because of the wider aperture (lens opening) which allows for more light to reach the film at a “faster” rate than a smaller or “slower” aperture such as, for example, a lens with only an aperture of f/2.0
On the other hand, some say the designation “fast” DOES relate to the shutter speed, in that you can use the fastest shutter speed possible due to the fact that you are able to “open” the lens wider to allow more of the light in to the camera.

If you had a lens, and the aperture at it’s widest opening is, say f/2.8…this would be considered a relatively “slow” lens (compared to one with a f/1/2 opening).
You can always tell just how “fast” a lens is by looking at the front of the lens (around the rim of the glass itself) and it should tell you what the widest lens opening is for that lens, e.g. f/1.2, etc.

If you walked into a Camera store, walked up to the counter, and
told the salesman you are looking for a “fast” lens for your Nikon (for example), he would know exactly the kind of lens to show you.

Additional Info:
The type of lens you’re describing could be one of the telescopic variety (like a 400mm) used for taking shots at long-distance.

A fast lens can just look like a “normal” camera lens and still be fast because of it’s wide f/stop.
Although the glass or lens itself can be of a larger diameter to allow for capturing the light faster. But, this should not be confused with a “Wide-Angle” lens (28mm or 35mm for example), which are much larger than the “Normal” lens (50mm or 58mm for example)
Here, for example, is a picture of a f1.4 fast lens for a Nikon:

(notice where it says f/1.4 on the aperture ring)
The lens you’re describing (minature astro-telescope)…
is probably like this one:

http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Images/Other/Canon-Super-Telephoto-Lenses.jpg

which is classified as a “Super-Telephoto” lens.

So, if you’re looking for a fast lens that can take pictures in low-light situations, it won’t necessarily be the big, bulky kind that you are describing.

Another excellent place to find Shutter Remote is on Amazon… They have way more than just books!

Question: Remote Shutter for my new Fuji camera?

I just bought a new camera Fuji (Fujifilm Finepix S700 7.1MP Digital Camera with Optical 10x zoom) and I want to take a shutter remote Porträts car for a project to do. Will it do any shooting distance, not all cameras are able to attack one and what do you have other tips to get great portraits? Wil the camera will come with a memory card and what else I probably need to buy before I use it? Thanks for any help.

Answer: You'll need to buy a memory card … if it does come with one, probably will no longer be a 32 or 64 MB … that pix is like 24-ish, depending on the size of the photo. As for the remote, there is one that is specialized for the camera. There may be a universal remote that can be found somewhere, but it is always best to go with a Fuji-brand because you know that it will work. Have a bag / Case to hold it in? You may also slow some tissues in case things get dusty. I also want a tripod – Tripods Boegan is excellent, and you can find a fact Carbon fiber to be small and light to mount the camera. When it comes to self portraits, the thing that is usually vaguely structure. Take many test shots until they know they have the right shot, and then take a series of images before slowing down to see them. (You can use the self-timer To do this, you do not even need a remote control … just set the timer for his extra time to allow for the possibility of adjustment.) This allows to maintain the position you want without losing the memory of it. You can also try creating a mirror overhead camera right … but remember! The prospect obtained from the mirror and what the camera are two completely different angles! If you get the remote, I would recommend taking pictures at a 25-50% can zoom … This narrows the angle image and a more flattering and slendering effect that makes the widest angle. (Obv. would be a pain to run back and back by pressing the shutter button if you are using the self-timer …) Good luck!
