A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

What is your GO to lens that lives most of the time on your camera?

Fujifilm 16-80mm (24-120mm full frame equivalent) f/4. Not the sharpest or brightest lens but the range is incredible and on top of that it’s waterproof, has shockingly good OIS, and is a constant f/4 throughout the whole focal range. I’ve often brought 2-3 additional lenses out shooting and never felt the need to take the 16-80mm off the camera.

Second place goes to the Viltrox 56mm f/1.4, mostly because of its insane price quality ratio. $250 for an incredibly sharp, incredibly bright 3rd party lens with autofocus and regular firmware updates? Yes please.
