I didn't read the contest thoroughly, thought it was just an ig shoutout, didn't realize you had to send them the High-res image. I was like how do they know when someone takes the image based on ig alone
. My mistake....fourish NT photog bros!

I've seen good pics taken with your camera body. Just keep shooting and learn about lighting.

My Panorama contribute. I need to step up my game. This photo is totally ripped but I was in the area anyways.

Quick question. What are the pros and cons of using a prime lens?
- 8,888
- 13,653
Pros:
Typically sharper than their zoom counterparts
Cheaper
Lighter (in terms of weight)
Usually have larger maximum apertures so they can do well in low-light conditions
Lack of zoom forces you to compose more carefully
Cons:
You'd likely need 2-3 prime lenses to cover a similar range as a zoom
No zoom
Not as versatile as a zoom
I realize that my cons all pretty much sound the same, but that's all I could think of this early in the morning hah . I'm sure a lot of the other guys in here can give you a better and more detailed response.
And yes I did list lack of zoom as both a pro and a con; it's a double-edged sword.
Of course everything I mentioned does not necessarily hold true for all prime lenses. I was thinking of basic primes vs. a budget zoom like an 18-55 kit lens.

The reason people pick primes over zooms are image quality, speed and weight. Image quality is much better on a prime due to less glass elements. (the more glass in a lens, the more degraded the light will come through). Primes, assuming you're not using a telephoto, are much faster than zooms. Haven't seen a prime 85mm or shorter, over f/2.8. Most good primes are between f/1.2 and f/1.8 (not saying f/2 - f/2.8 are bad because they're not). Primes are also much lighter than zooms.
The only con I can think of is a fixed focal length.

that pretty well covers it, other general benefits are that primes are typically smaller in size (though there are some massively large primes & many high quality primes have large glass that makes them larger than some zoom lenses!!!), which is useful when mobile or traveling. as well the simplicity of a single focal length, it does not really make for more considered composition though, rather a prime lens limits the options for composing that a zoom lens would give (with a zoom lens, the added dimension of deciding what focal length to use may slow you down)...
it really depends on need, yes primes are said to be sharper and can have larger apertures for low-light shooting/shallow depth of field photos but those things can achieved by higher ISOs and post processing, generally people rock with zooms for the convenience to change focal lengths fast. i think primes give a certain consistency/expectation to the experience of practicing photography, and to me are a bit easier/more fun to shoot with because once you get used to a focal length you kind of get an idea of what an image could be before making the picture...whereas with a zoom it may be a little more difficult...
speaking of prime lenses i just received this old 1950s-60s era lens, it is tiny!
its kinda beat, but thus far pretty impressed with its image quality

Just the standard one it came with, Havent really looked into anything yet
Any recommendations?
