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.

Sell my 24-70 for primes? (alien.top)

This may seem odd but I’d like to hear people’s perspective on this.

I am a working freelance photographer. Lots of news, portraits, events.

I currently use 2 Sony bodies with the classic 24-70 and 70-200. I love the 70-200 for the reach and range. But I often find myself setting the 24-70 to a wider focal length and leaving it. I rarely zoom in and out. The ONLY time I use the 24-70 is news assignments where I don’t know what to expect.

I also have a 24, 35 and 85 primes that I love. I use the 24 & 35 all the time for any events or news stuff where I know what to expect.

I’ve been thinking about selling the 24-70 and getting a 50 prime and being done with the wider zoom. I love the lighter lenses, the faster aperture options, and the simplicity.

Would this be a mistake? How do y’all view this ?
