monologue happening here?
firstly, no one owes u any answers.
secondly, i have no idea what you mean by "middle lens".
a camera take images by allowing light to fall on a light recording media/device. in essence, it doesn't need a "lens" as with pinhole cameras, the hole is the lens. in modern cameras, the "hole" is more advance, with the use of glass and autofocus mechanisms.
so i do not think that it's the viewfinder that takes pictures, it just allows u to see what it is you're taking.
longer lenses generally zoom further. that would be the short answer, good enuff to keep this thread from being deleted i hope? -

sensor in a digital camera that records and process the images while in traditional film cameras the light will fall on the film negative when the camera shutter blades open and closes
the view finder in cameras (esp useful in film cameras where the shooter frames the subjects before taking a shot)
now most digital cameras have LCD and what you see is what you captures so the viewfinder is just an additional/ backup function
i believe the middle lenses TS was writing about are the big longer lenses he/ she sees on some cameras. these are usually interchangeable lenses that provides added optical zoom / wide angle / special effects capabilities
