>>3816982Anon obviously if you find yourself switching lenses more than twice in a couple hours, you should've been using a zoom from the beginning.
The whole point of primes is that after using it for an hour or so, you become familiar with the framing before lifting your camera to your eye. You know what to expect, how to position yourself, what is possible and what isn't, etc. . So you position yourself, anticipate things, lift and click without fiddling back and forth with zoom to find the correct framing. Because you know your framing already. You miss some shots because the framing is impossible to get with the FoV that your prime gives you, you "win" some shots (from the ones that your prime allows) because you're quicker and more focused with the framing.
Carrying multiple primes defeats the purpose.
Neither do you familiarise yourself with a specific FoV, nor are you quicker by not having to fiddle with the zoom because now you have to switch lenses which takes 10 times as long.
Zooms are fine. Primes are not the be-all and end-all of lenses, and I say that as someone that barely uses zooms. If you're more comfortable with zooms, that's what you should be shooting, and it was the smart thing to do, checking with which lenses (zooms) you shoot most and preferring those.
I see people sometimes carrying multiple primes and I don't know wtf they're doing. And usually they have retarded reasons for carrying them and switching around instead of zooms, like sharpness or something inconsequential like that.
The only times I'm carrying a second prime is when I know I'm gonna end up somewhere dark, and that second prime is 2 stops faster than the first one.
