>>3096098I had to make this decision when I got my first camera.
I ended up deciding on getting a 35mm.
And looking back on all of the videos and photos that I've been able to create, I'm so thankful that I chose that focal length as my first prime.
So many videos that I've shot would have been impossible if I had a slightly longer focal length.
Basically, what I'm saying is that the 35mm has been great for me. But, that's just how it's been for me.
I'm sure there are people that can just as easily tell you have their 50mm has saved their ass many times. But for me, my 35mm has been what's saved me.
I can give you specific examples if you want.
But why don't you answer some questions for us:
What type of photography are you interested in?
What type of photography do you see yourself doing?
What type of photography have you enjoyed the most?
When you take a candid photo of someone, do you prefer a tight crop showing their smile lines, wrinkles, subtle expressions in their face? Or do you like to include a little bit of the background, to give context to this emotion?
Is bokeh something that you really love?
Will you be doing video?
How much money are you willing to spend?
What aperture would you like your prime to open up to?
