1st Day of School, Picture Day, School Dances and more! 

A new school year comes with plenty of photo opportunities and you’ll want to capture your students' 1st day and the many moments that follow!

School activities make the year fun! Telephoto lenses help you capture these memories, even if you’re taking them from far away. These lenses are great for capturing sporting events, pep rallies, spirit days, performing arts, and so much more allowing you to zoom in on your friends, children, or teammates even if you can’t close! Canon has a great selection of telephoto lenses available!
