The Apple iPhone X, XS and XS Max all three of them are equipped with a second lens that enables you
to get close to the object being captured. But to get even closer, you may want to use an add-on lens.
There are several types of lenses available that each performs a different function. These are as follows:
1. Telephoto lens
It is a type of lens that has been specially designed to take photographs of an object located at a
moderate to far distance. A telephoto lens is used for taking photographs of distant subjects such as
wildlife or sports events. They can also be used in portrait photography.
2. Wide Lens
A wide-angle lens is used for the purpose of capturing as much as you possibly can. A wide-angle lens is
used especially for landscapes, cityscapes, and architecture photography.
3. Macro Lens
A macro lens is an optically optimized lens that can handle extremely close focusing distances, it can
easily take sharp and detailed images of microscopic subjects. It is used for photographing small subjects
at extremely close distances.
4. Fisheye lens
A fisheye lens is an ultra-wide-angle lens that helps to create a wide panoramic or hemispherical image.
They had been originally developed for the meteorological purposes but now they are being used
in photography.
5. Anamorphic lens
It is a type of lens developed to utilize the whole 35mm film frame. It compresses the image horizontally
by a factor of 2 while making complete use of the full height of the frame. When the finished film is
screened, the projector lens unsqueezes the image back to the correct proportions.
