I know of telephoto's, but what is the purpose of such a long lens when the photographer is 15 feet from the subject?
Using a long lens on a subject that is only 15 feet away tells me that it's a Portrait Shot. Using a long Telephoto Lens compresses the background from the subject.
What this will do is the subject will come out clear while the background will be slightly blurred making the subject pop from the picture.
Best Answer
It compresses the depth and throws the background out of focus. A telephoto is much better than a wide angle or normal lens for portraits too. It reduces distortion in peoples' features.
