A guide to prime lenses and why you should use them

July 7, 2017 By Autumn

I actually found the information in this video very informative.Especially for those of us who likes to take pictures of different events and for certain occasions.It gave you an in debt detail of which lens is best to use for certain results.It even explain which lens would be more useful for landscaping or for just snapping photos of people.

Key Takeaways:

  • Primes are often quite small and compact, which means they also weight a lot less. They also have wider apertures than even most of the processional zooms.
  • A disadvantage is the single field of view which means that if you want to make something larger or small in the frame, you have to physically move.
  • The only zooms I use regularly are the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR for photography, and an 18-55mm kit lens that’s just for vlogging. For everything else, I use primes.

“If carrying a small, unobtrusive lightweight kit is important to you, then a prime lens is often an easy decision.”
