What is the best lense for midwest/eastern snowboarding?

Whats the difference between a Macro Tube, Macro Lense, Telephoto Lense, and Fish-eye Lense?

• I bought a camera and was looking for different lenses for the camera and came across a Macro Tube, a Macro Lense, a Telephoto Lense, and a Fish-eye Lense. I was wondering what each lense does and what the difference is from each one?

• Answer:

  - Fisheye Lens A 'wide angle' lens of very short focal length where horizontal and vertical lines no longer appear straight, but are bent like a circle. The image appears as if you are looking through a glass bowl filled with water, or how the world might appear through a fish's eye. With a fisheye, it is possible to look down both streets at an intersection in the same image. - Telephoto Lens A lens with long focal length where images appear magnified compared to regular vision. They allow images to be taken from a distance, and are favored by those shooting sporting events, celebrities (discreetly from a distance), wildlife, and celestial formations. - Macro Lens A lens designed for focusing at very short range (i.e. the camera is right next to the subject). Most other lenses can only focus on objects about a meter away. Photographs of insects, plant life, and other small objects are often made with macro lenses. Certain lenses (like the common 70–200mm) have a 'macro' setting. - Macro tube An extension tube that allows a regular lens to be used for macro photography. The better tubes allow electronic functions on the lens (such as autofocus, aperture control) to be passed through to the camera. Some good advice: buy only what you need. Spending hundreds of dollars on equipment you are only going to use once is not a good idea. Of the above, the telephoto lens is probably the most commonly sought, followed by a macro lens or tube. You can rent camera equipment from certain stores or online if you only need something for the short term.
