Primes
Please excuse me for my recent ramblings. It’s just that I’m enduring a temporary health issue that has me bedridden. I suppose it’s the extra time on my hands, and just trying to occupy it in any way possible. I assure you that I’ll lay low and try not to become a nuisance to the groups. And to make matters worse, I can’t grab the new D780 and make some snaps. 😢
Anyways, back to the intended subject. Does anyone miss shooting with the older, smaller, compact primes? I have and use the Tamron SP 20-40, Nikon 24-120 f/4 VR and the Nikon 70-200 f/4 VR glass, and I really like them. But have you noticed that today’s modern primes are as large and heavy as zooms? Being a prolific street shooter, I find it so liberating when I just screw on a small prime and blast away. I find it more liberating, and conducive to creative image making.
There is no right or wrong approach. We should all do what works for us individually. Just my take on photography. 🤔

Nikon 35mm lens on a Nikon D5500. Fast, easy to hold, and non-threatening. Image quality very good. Used to shoot street scenes and outdoor concerts at night (pre-pandemic). Fits in a large coat pocket!
