How to use a prime lens well, and what is suitable for shooting with a prime lens

Use just one, shoot more, and keep summing up!

Over time, the angle of view of this lens and the characteristics of the image are etched in your mind. At this time, you will find that the perspective of your surroundings has changed, and the surrounding scene always clearly appears in your mind. At this time, you don't need to lift the camera, you already know what the effect will look like.

When you raise the camera and press the shutter, the "good**" in your mind appears in your camera.

This is why many masters (there are almost no such masters in China) often use prime focus. Moreover, many masters only like to use one or two lenses, because these two perspectives and colors are most familiar to him.

Fixed focus allows you to have no distractions, just for photography!

It depends on what subject you want to shoot, the advantages of prime lenses, high image quality, and generally wide aperture. Shooting things with a small depth of field is more brilliant.

The prime lens is suitable for shooting portraits, texts, small landscapes, ecology or some sports.

A prime lens is a lens with only a fixed focal length, no focal length, or only a field of view, and the design of a prime orange and state lens is much simpler than that of a zoom lens.

The biggest advantage of a prime lens over a zoom machine is that it has a fast focusing speed and a stable quality of the imaging studio. Many digital cameras with fixed-focus lenses capture clear and stable images of moving objects, with very accurate focusing, delicate images, very slight graininess, and accurate metering.

The advantage of a prime lens is that it is very small and lightweight, so it is very light to carry when you go out shooting. In addition, the focus is fast, the quality of the image is very warm, and the detail is good and fine. At the same time, the aperture of the prime lens is relatively large, and the advantages will be very obvious in the environment where the light is not very strong.

The difference between the prime lens 35mm and 50mm:

If you need a good perspective relationship when shooting a round source, or if it is close to the human eye surface, the 50mm one will be slightly better, and it is very suitable for full-frame cameras, which can make ** more earthy.

If you are shooting a half-length portrait, a 35mm one will be better, for example, when taking private photos, it can make the local lines more beautiful, so the key to a 35mm or 50mm prime lens is to see the requirements for the shooting effect and the shooting picture.

When using a prime lens:

1. Avoid direct light from dazzling light, which can maximize the advantages of the prime lens.

2. Metering in advance, which can maximize the advantages of the prime lens. Choose an open framing space to maximize the benefits of a prime lens. Use portrait framing to maximize the benefits of a prime lens.

3. Use banner portrait shooting. Avoid backlit shots to maximize the benefits of a prime lens. With a large aperture, the eggplant pie maximizes the advantages of a prime lens.

Use bokeh back history to maximize the benefits of a prime lens.

4. Dress simply, so that you can maximize the advantages of the prime lens. The distance is closer, so that the tremor can use a long focal length, which can maximize the advantages of the prime lens.

I'm often asked questions like how to choose between 35mm and 50mm. So, how do you choose a prime lens that's right for you? Here are 3 ways to recommend you.

The so-called weighted lead stare analysis method is to find out which focal length is the most commonly used (the most outstanding) of the ** that you are shooting now (especially the ** that you think you are satisfied with**). For Windows users, the method is very simple:- Open a folder where ** is stored.

Right-click in the blank space > view > details.

In the title bar (name, date, type), right-click -> Other-> and check "35mm focal length" or "focal length" -> OK.

After doing the above, you will be able to go straight to what focal length you use to shoot the front camera. (If the focal length is very dispersed, then you are better suited to a zoom lens).

Tape fixing method

Taking an 18-55mm lens as an example, when we turn it to the 35mm position according to the instructions and recognition on the zoom ring of the lens, its shooting angle is the same as that of a 35mm prime lens. So, for example, if you want to buy a 35mm prime lens, you might as well fix the zoom lens in your hand at the 35mm focal length position, and then go out and take a photo to see if you are used to this angle of view.

If you're afraid that you're going to zoom habitually, stick the zoom ring with tape. If you don't know what a zoom ring is, buy what you like......

Grab the trial method

The above two methods are only suitable for the focal length of the target lens that can be covered by the lens in hand. If you have 18-55mm in your hand and plan to buy an 85mm fixed focus, it obviously doesn't work. In this case, in addition to reminding you to be cautious, cautious and cautious, ET can only recommend finding friends and dealers to grab one to try it out.

As for whether to give money when robbing, it's up to you. The relationship is not iron enough. After choosing the focal length, it is up to you to decide how long the aperture is to buy the original factory, the side factory, and the aperture you buy.

Finally, again, the biggest difference between a prime lens and a zoom lens is the fixed focal length, not the image quality or the size of the aperture. If you take two prime lenses with different focal lengths and ask me which one has better image quality, this kind of question is pointless.
