One lens...one camera challenge....
Oct 29, 2013 07:04:21 #
Just to reiterate: if you are NORMALLY a zoom user, this thread is for YOU to get out of your comfort zone and experience life with ONE focal length...it's not for us prime users to post...heck...we already do our "sneaker zoom" don't we?
Bring on the zoom users and you are welcome to use any prime lens you have OR tape that zoom into one place for a week...
And here I thought I was clear at the start...lol...

Did a similar thing at a camera club with a disposable camera. One shot each and then it got passed along to the next member. Not quite the same as going for a whole week. Though when I got my first SLR I only had the one lens for ages.
Sounds like it was a lot of fun! :thumbup:

This is becoming a pretty entertaining post, I think it's a great idea but trying to get through to some of these people is like talking to a brick. I mentioned the 90 macro because I find it one of the most versatile lenses you could use for this test, I could live with just that lens, obviously a great macro lens but it is also a very good portrait lens & great all rounder.
I would love to take part but unfortunately I have 2 hands & arms in plaster & traction along with many more injuries from a motorcycle accident back in July, I was air lifted to hospital & spent 10 days in ICU expected to die but I somehow came out of it & am now slowly recovering praying I will eventually be able to hold & use a camera again. my right wrist is gone so my hand is just fused to my arm with no movement so all I can do is hope.
I'm typing with one finger very slowly.
I hope you don't mind me waffling on on your post if so I apologise.
Have a good one !!!

I am up to it! Have a 50mm prime lens that I very seldom use. Anything to help me improve my craft.
Bye Bye Mr. Zoom. :XD:

Actually. I have just purchased a Nikkor 35mm 1.8 prime lens. It has been on my D3100 for about 2 weeks now and I do not see it being removed. This is one tremendous lens. If I need something longer I'll just use the SX50. Unfortunately, I've been unable to post my shots on UHH for some unknown reason.

Used to do that all the time in the film days. Put a 50mm prime on my F-1 and walk around all day with it. Sure I missed some shots, but could save many in the darkroom.

Relax Tiger - it was an attempt at humour and to ensure no-one jumped on the bandwagon against you and derailed his very interesting idea - I think!!!

I am up for it, just purchased a Nikon, 1.8 lens and would love to see what it, (I) can do with it.

Well...I was shooting for Friday...but if you want to extend it a few days that's' up to you....I was just aiming to get folks to do more than snap a few shots in one day, call it good, and put their zoom back on.

I cant decide between using my 21mm F4, 15mm 4.5 or 35mm 1.4/2.8, so many decisions.
