p.1 #8 · p.1 #8 · I feel like I should be shooting primes and forego the zoom | |
Of course it should be added that I started with primes, back in the days before zooms and when zooms were awful.
I went with the engineering side of my brain and thought I should use primes so as they got to levels of high image quality I kind of felt compelled to get with the times.
But it was sort of like eating a low fat or low whatever diet. Yeah ok, great idea - but why am I always hungry for a fat juicy burger? I've still got a few zooms. I dust them off once in a while and really like the Fuji 18-55, which never needed dusting. I shoot it as as two primes however, I've noticed. It's a quick change 18 or a 55. Almost never anything else. I think that it's because I also find any focal length between about 28mm equivalency to about 60mm equivalent angle of view not my kind of excitement.
So my ideal perfect lens kit is a 18 or 21, 24, 90 or 135 and maybe a 300, in FF 35 terms, all I'd ever need. Where can I find a kit like that I wonder, both reasonably priced and excellent IQ, I wonder? Hmmmm.
