For the prime, I have to go with the 50mm. I am not a seasoned photographer, but the affordable nifty-fifty has served me well, and I have been able to catch a couple of good images with it. The 1.8 50s, including those for the mirrorless, are affordable, sharp (in my opinion) lenses. Getting into photography, this is a great lens. I have,…Read More

Shooting in Auto Mode isn’t always ideal, but you and the camera have done well to capture this moment, which is the essence of photography. Of course, using Manual Mode, or one of the Creative Modes, and shooting in RAW would give you more control. Now that you’re more adept with your camera, we’re keen to see what you post next. A tip on…Read More

For a prime lens, my favourite is the 85mm f/1.4. I don’t own one but often find myself borrowing it. It’s an exceptional lens for portraits, although the Canon version is quite pricey. I’m considering the Canon RF 85mm F2 MACRO IS STM as an alternative. Its 1:2 macro feature makes it versatile, good for portraits, and ideal for product…Read More
