Some people will complain that the lens is heavy and the lens is expensive, but almost no one will complain that they have too many lenses, especially forPrime lensEach focal length is unique and irreplaceable.
Prime lenses also have a number of unique advantages, many of which are features that many zoom lenses can't give:
1.Exercise the photographer's sense of lens
In contrast, a prime lens is more effective for the photographer to exercise the photographer's sense of lens, that is, to construct the effect of a scene in the camera in his mind.
After shooting with a prime lens for a while, we sometimes find that we are more precise in controlling the shooting distance and shooting angle, but if we use the zoom lens for a long time, we may become "lazy" and always want to improve the shooting environment through zoom.
This is why some people will say that the use of zoom lenses is more difficult, it is recommended that beginners use zoom lenses after they are familiar with the prime lens, on the one hand, zoom will make people "lazy", on the other hand, the fixed focus can better shape the photographer's sense of lens, and the operation is simpler.
2.The prime lens of the same class has better image quality
Generally speaking, prime lenses tend to have prime lenses of the same class and at the same price point compared to zoom lensesLarger aperture valueswithBetter picture qualityOf course, this is not absolute, but the prime lens does have a different texture.
In addition to the full-focal length zoom lens that many professional photographers need, they usually have several basic and favorite prime lenses, such as 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, etc.
3.A sense of ritual
Shooting with a prime lens can bring a stronger sense of ceremony, first of all, limited by the focal length of the lens, we need to constantly think about the shooting angle and walk to the right distance, rather than turning the zoom ring to find the perfect composition;
Secondly, the same focal length has a stronger similarity, so we can also pay more attention to the connection between the two when shooting, and complete the shooting;
Finally, prime lenses are lighter and simpler, allowing us to shoot with our hands lifted and capture images faster, which is great for street photography.
If you've been shooting with a zoom lens for a long time, you can try to take a spin and take a shot with the prime to get a different harvest.
That's all for today
