What is the function of the camera lense? If memory serves me correctly it's there to let light in.

What are the different types of lenses used for? To let in different types of light, naturally.

OTOH if it's a lens like one of the Sigma 70-300 UC DL XYZ f/5.6-7.8, it makes a good paperweight or doorstop.
