Evening folks
I've been doing a lot of research and reading regarding the use of primes for everyday photography and the benefits they can reap.
Currently I shoot with a 5D mk2 and a 24-105 lens. Now as general walkabout lens it is good but I find it lacks in portrait environments which is a direction I would like to venture into.
I still like to do landscape when the opportunity arises.
I am wondering if I should sell my zoom lens and switch it for some primes.
The way I am thinking is -
28mm for landscape
50mm and 85mm for portraits
Does this sound sound like a reasonable setup?
Obviously the budget from the zoom won't get all three at once but it would certainly fund the 28 and 50mm for the time being.
What are others thoughts on this and has anyone else been in a similar situation?
