SUMMARY
While everyday zoom lenses offer significant versatility, a photographer finds themselves consistently reaching for prime lenses. The trade-off for zoom convenience is often speed and handling, forcing higher ISOs or risking camera shake. Prime lenses, though less versatile, impose limitations that lead to more methodical shooting. This deliberate approach, even if it means missing some shots, results in a calmer and more successful photographic process.
