DISADVANTAGES OF TELEPHOTO LENSES

Telephoto lenses appear to ‘compress’ perspective. Unlike wide-angles, they reproduce subjects and their backgrounds at their true relative sizes, or at least closer to them.

This effect will become obvious if you attempt to photograph a tree, for example, against a distant mountain. If you fill the frame with the tree in both cases, the wide-angle lens will make the mountain tiny, while the telephoto will make it look much larger.

Telephoto lenses also make objects at different distances look closer together.
