The main drawback is price. I managed to buy Sony A7III kit, but now i can not afford another lens like 85mm 1.8 because i need about more half of the price of camera to buy one. So all i have is watch videos on youtube and get inspiration)))) 85mm is my favorite lens.
I used to shoot street with a 24-70 2.8. Now i prefer shooting with primes 24, 50, 85
Using a word you said, we should change the phrase to, "Frame with your feet".
For me, the best feature of prime lenses is the consistent 'look'. If I use a 35mm and 85mm, I only have to think about two situations for the relative view of the foreground and background. With a zoom lens, I have to rethink with each turn of the zoom ring. It also means the images from an event are more consistent, with only 2-3 looks.
Spot on, not that zoom lenses are only for beginners, but they do make you a bit “lazy” with framing. Lately I’ve been learning to shoot with 24 prime and it takes a bit of getting used to after using 24-70 for so long.
Working a scene is the fastest way to improve from beginner to intermediate, I think. I find certain things facilitate that more, like shooting from the screen, where you can easily try new angles without getting on the floor of climbing a tree, and wide angles where slight movements make dramatic changes to the look. That being said, I think any focal length that you're not perfectly comfortable with can push you to work a scene too. I am terrible with the 85mm, so I think I am always dancing around a scene more than shooting it, just trying to figure out my spacing and layers. 😂
There are few other focuses that I think help us to make that transition to intermediate, but these are the easiest to implement immediately.
I myself have been shooting almost all my shots at f/8 for like 3 weeks lol
Waiting for sony to release a new 85 gm before investing in this focal length but I love the look. Thanks for posting!
