The pothole not hard to snap with this lens? (9)
I believe the answer is:
telephoto
'this lens?' is the definition.
(telephoto lens is a kind of lens)
'the pothole not hard to snap' is the wordplay.
'not' suggests deleting specific letters.
'hard' becomes 'h' (abbreviation used in pencil classifications).
'to snap' is an anagram indicator (letters snap or break).
'the'+'pothole'='thepothole'
'thepothole' with 'h' removed is 'tepothole'.
'tepothole' is an anagram of 'TELEPHOTO'.
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for telephoto that I've seen before include "Long type of camera lens" , "Sort of lens" , "Long-distance lens" , "It helps paparazzi get closer" , "Distant shooter" .)
