A \u2018zoom lens\u2019 is a lens with adjustable focal length. Often the term is confused with a telephoto. Where a zoom lens may be a telephoto, it isn\u2019t necessarily so.<\/p>\n

In the case of my 18-135mm Fujinon lens, this is a wide-angle to medium telephoto range zoom.<\/p>\n

I used this to good advantage the other day at Millers Falls, Massachusetts to make a sequence of photos of New England Central\u2019s southward road freight 611.<\/p>\n

Both photos were exposed digitally.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
