A long-focus lens gives a high resolution image over quite a narrow field of view. Its long focal length means that the main lens elements must be mounted at the front of a long tube to be at a sufficient distance from the film to form a sharp image. 2, record 1, English, - long%20focal%20length%20lens

Objectifs de longue focale-Leur angle de champ est inférieur ou très inférieur à celui de l'objectif normal. [...] Un objectif de longue focale donne une image dont la perspective-la convergence naturelle des lignes parallèles du sujet-semble moins forte. Les plans du sujet, normalement étagés en profondeur-un paysage, par exemple-paraissent se confondre les uns avec les autres. 5, record 1, French, - objectif%20%C3%A0%20longue%20focale

A telephoto is a long-focus lens incorporating some light diverging elements at the camera end. These have the effect of making the lens-image distance less than the focal length would otherwise require. The telephoto is therefore shorter than a lens of conventional design, although it has the same focal length. Both give images of identical size. 5, record 2, English, - telephotographic%20lens

Grâce à sa construction particulière, un téléobjectif offre une longue focale pour un tirage relativement faible. Sa formule optique est (...) un élément convergent à l’avant, un élément divergent à l’arrière. Pour une distance focale identique, un téléobjectif est moins protubérant, est moins éloigné du film qu’une longue focale ordinaire. Principe du téléobjectif - L’élément divergent donne de AB (image du sujet normalement formée par l’élément convergent) une image grossie A’B’. 4, record 2, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9objectif
