===Special-purpose=== [[Image:24mm-tilt-lens.jpg|thumb|A tilt/shift lens, set to its maximum degree of tilt relative to the camera body.]] * [[Apochromat]] (apo) lenses have added correction for [[chromatic aberration]]. * [[Process lens]]es have extreme correction for aberrations of geometry ([[pincushion distortion]], [[barrel distortion]]) and are generally intended for use at a specific distance and at small aperture. * Enlarger lenses are made to be used with [[photographic enlarger]]s (specialised projectors), rather than cameras. * Lenses for [[aerial photography]]. * [[Tilt–shift photography|Shift len]]s allow the lens to be raised or lowered relative to the film of sensor plane to correct or exaggerate perspective distortion. * [[Fisheye lens]]es: extreme wide-angle lenses with an angle of view of up to 180 degrees or more, with very noticeable (and intended) distortion. * [[Stereoscopy|Stereoscopic lenses]], to produce pairs of photographs which give a 3-dimensional effect when viewed with an appropriate viewer. * [[Soft focus|Soft-focus]] lenses which give a soft, but not out-of-focus, image and have an imperfection-removing effect popular among portrait and fashion photographers. * [[Infrared photography|Infrared lenses]] * [[Ultraviolet photography|Ultraviolet lenses]] * [[Swivel lens]]es rotate while attached to a camera body to give unique perspectives and camera angles. * Shift lenses and tilt/shift lenses (collectively [[perspective control lens]]es) allow special control of [[perspective (visual)|perspective]] on [[Single-lens reflex|SLR]] cameras by mimicking [[View camera#Movements|view camera movements]]. * [[telecentric lens]]es (or orthographic lenses) make any object appear as the same size regardless of their distance from the lens.
