Lens Hero

As I have gotten more and more into photography, I have been looking for different options for how to shop for a lens and the subsequent accessories that are necessary (at least that is what I keep telling myself). You can search online for comparisons, but the site that I feel has given the best opportunity for doing comparisons so far is LensHero.com.

The breakdowns by camera body and price range to start with allows for quick and easy searches. However, that is not where the real benefits come from. The ability to look at lens based on the type of photography you are doing allows for even more flexibility.

For the maximum effect and with the most starting options available for filtering, I would recommend starting with the camera body type (at the bottom of the page). From here you can add filters for brand, type of photography, price range, aperture, wide angle versus telephoto, image stabilization, or focus motor.

With this many options to begin with, it gives any photographer options for quick searches. This coupled with the ratings being pulled in from B&H photo and quick links to Amazon for purchasing make it an effective search tool.

Thanks LensHero!
