Haha no not quite.

In the second picture the lens on the left is a 50mm f/2. This is a standard lens with a not particularly fast maximum aperture. It is not a telephoto. The 52mm you see there is marked on the filter attached to the lens. It unscrews and is not a part of the lens itself. 52mm indicates the diameter of the filter threads.

The thing in the middle is a teleconverter, not a lens. It goes between a lens and the camera and multiplies the focal length of a lens. Typically they're either 1.4x or 2x multiplication factor. It also makes the f-stops smaller. You lose one stop with a 1.4x or two stops with a 2x. Not much use for this thing here.

The lens on the right is a wide angle of some sort but I can't see any markings that would indicate its focal length. The maximum aperture is f/2.8. It's probably either a 28mm or a 35mm.

All I can tell about the big thing that's attached to the camera is it's some kind of telephoto zoom (zoom = you can change the focal length) with a macro feature.

If you want to find out what the other lenses are, unscrew the filters and read what is marked on the lens itself, around the front glass. Post that info up here and I'll translate it into english for ya.
