So what&#8217;s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.photo.net\/discuss\/threads\/long-focus-vs-telephoto.125775\/\">difference<\/a>? Basically, at infinity any long focus lens focusses about the same distance back to the camera as its focal length while a telephoto lens has a distance physically back to the camera that is shorter than its focal length.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the 13.5cm Elmar or Hector is a long focus lens while the more compact Tele-Elmar 13.5cm\u00a0lens is \u00a0a true tele-photo lens design. Either design makes for a great lens but the more compact tele design is easier to use\/carry.<\/p>\n<p>NB.
