 The type of lens that allows for rotating to select different magnifications is called a zoom lens. A zoom lens has a variable focal length, which means the lens can change from a wide-angle view to a telephoto (narrow) view without the photographer having to change their position or switch out lenses. Adjusting the zoom ring on the lens changes the magnification, effectively zooming in or out on the subject.
