But it isn't just the focal length that will determine the photographer's choice of lens--other considerations include the provision of a built-in vibration reduction system to counteract camera shake; an ultrasonic lens motor to ensure that autofocus operation is silent; apochromatic lens elements for reducing optical aberrations; and a 'fast' maximum aperture.
