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?

24 f2.8 prime. I was hesitant on posting seeing as how I only have 1yr under my belt with a real camera and only have one other lens to compare it to- Zeiss 24-70 F4(rarely use). The 24 f2.8 really lends well to my favorite type of photography which is low light urban architecture/Storefronts/Murals.

I do alot of "walking" photography, so this lens pretty much lives on my camera. I rarely use the camera bag I bought with the camera. The size of this lens is a positive as well. I typically stuff the camera/lens in a winter stocking cap and that goes into a backpack with everything else needed.

Next camera purchase will be a 50 f1.8. I suspect I'll like that for all the reasons I favor the 24 f2.8 and then some. ZERO interest in a zoom lens.
