Prime Lenses

I love prime lenses – the only way theses lenses can zoom is with my feet. Two of these lenses are a standard f/2.8 – nothing to exciting. But two of these lenses are f/1.8 and f/1.4 – which is my favorite feature of many prime lenses. They can shoot with a very shallow depth of field and they can shoot in very low light situations.

I photograph about 95% of the time with a prime lens. There are times where a zoom lens is the only way to go – during a wedding ceremony when I am capturing all the happening and going on. But for portraits, details and more when it is important to slow down and compose a photograph – prime lenses are my go to choice.

In the next year I am planning on adding a Canon camera and some Canon prime lenses to my line up. The Canon prime lenses are some that Nikon doesn’t bother creating. If things go according to plan I will have a new Canon 5D Mark II and a Canon f/1.2 50mm lens by the end of February.

I could talk gear all day.
