An obsolete variant of the letter s "ſ" that is often confused with an f (it also resembles ∫, a calculus symbol); It fell out of favour in the early 19th-Century for this very reason, as printers found that it was more practical to use a variant of s that would not be confused with f.
The long s still survives in German as the letter ß, which is a ligature of the letters ſ and s combined into ſs (ß). It can also be found in the Jägermeiſter (Jägermeister) logo.

This word commonly confuses all the new users to SkatePerception.com. For some reason people can't put two and two together and figure out that the term "Long Lens" is not an actual additional lens to your video camera, but it is infact the stock lens that is built in already.
A fisheye lens is an attachable lens onto the Bayo mount or the thread mount.
A long lens is the lens already in your camera.
TA FUCKING DA.
