Wide Angle Lens:
focal length is substantially smaller than the focal length of a normal lens for a given film plane.
Great to show more SPACE in the frame
Prime Lens:
a lens of fixed focal length.
they're usually 'faster'. This means they have a larger maximum aperture, which enables quicker shutter speeds. For example, a typical 18-55mm zoom lens has a maximum aperture of roughly f/4 at the wide-angle end, shrinking to a mere f/5.6 at about 50mm.
Telephoto Lens:
a lens with a longer focal length than standard, giving a narrow field of view and a magnified image.
