>>4462258>be me>4 lenses in my bag>all of them primes in the telephoto range>all of them vintage and manual-focus>only use 2 of them on a given outing>get the shots I wantYou have to know yourself well enough to know what shots you're looking for. Go out with one lens on your camera and nothing else. Maybe a spare battery or two and some filters.
If it works and you know why, perfect.
If it works and you don't know why, spend more time with it and figure out why.
If it doesn't work and you know why, make it work or stop using the lens.
If it doesn't work and you don't know why, spend more time with it to figure out why.
It's really that simple, and I don't know why people don't figure this out on their own. You will never get all the photos, so focus on which ones you can get and want to get. For example, the reason I settled into telephoto lenses is because I couldn't get the photos I was seeing when I would go out with just a wide-angle, so I stopped using wide-angle lenses.
In your case, you're not getting the photos you want when you go out with 4 different lenses at a time, so stop using 4 different lenses at a time.
>But what if I miss out on some shots!??>>4462271Take your own photos. No one else determines which shots you shouldn't or shouldn't miss out on. Why would you run around and act like some teeny bopper somewhere, for someone else's shots? You take the photos, man, you pack the bag. The camera's yours. You press the shutter button.
