If the term “lens compression” sounds familiar and you know it’s a thing, but you’re not sure what it does, how it works, and why it can be beneficial, the video below is for you. We’re going to clear up all the above and more in this episode of “Booray Explains.”

This video may be controversial because lenses with maximum apertures of f/2.8 or faster tend to get all the love.
