…and also why you have both the 50mm 1.8 and 1.4, and if you’ll probably end up getting rid of one of them?
I’m not decided on that yet, but I really am liking f/1.4…
I think I will get rid of the f/1.8 since I like the 50mm 1.4 lens better for video.
I’d be curious to know how often you find yourself switching lenses
Yeah, that is the downside to primes. But on a product photography shoot I have been using the 50mm,-which works until you get something too tall or wide… and if you have only a small space to photograph them in. 🙂 Then I have switched to the 35mm which is nicer in some respects since it’s focus distance is much closer than the 50mm.
I don’t have any experience with the more expensive primes yet, like the 300mm, 105mm, or 20mm.
