How do novice photographers choose the first fixed-focus lens?

A fan left a message asking me, if I only choose one fixed-focus lens, which lens do I recommend, 35mm, 50mm or 85mm? For the novice photographer, 35mm is a safe choice. It's a little expensive, but it's definitely worth it. In my personal photography habit, I usually use a 35mm fixed-focus lens, not that other things are not good, but that I am used to 35mm, which makes my lens feel better. In fact, these focuses are the most popular, and you can shoot sweeping the street or something, mainly depending on your personal preferences. Let me tell those in need the advantages and disadvantages of these fixed-focus lenses. 35mm is called "the eye of humanity" and should be regarded as a multi-purpose fixed focus. Both portrait photography and landscape photography are competent. Even shooting the starry sky is no problem, and the range of use is relatively wide.

35mm fixed-focus lens is very suitable for hanging, because it is small and light, and it is absolutely friendly to go out for a long time. Disadvantages: The original price is relatively high, but you can consider the lenses of Sigma and Longteng. 50mm focal length is suitable for portraits, buildings and the like, and can also be taken indoors and indoors. It has no distortion of 35 degrees and no depth of field of 85mm, just like life. Most people will choose this focal length because it is easy to master and the price is relatively cheap (1000 or less).

85mm- 135mm is known as "portrait gold focal spot". Strong background separation and blurring make it easier for beginners to choose the background and highlight the subject. 85mm is the "perfect head" for taking portraits. As long as the light is good enough, you can make movies anywhere. Disadvantages: the use of 85mm is very limited, and it can only take "big photos". It's almost useless indoors, and you need to keep a long distance outdoors. It is not recommended to buy, unless you need a face range like a poster cover.

Its lens is famous for its low price and high optical quality. Longteng has developed a lot of star products that people talk about, and its deputy factory has rich lens resources and high cost performance, which is more suitable for novices to buy. The last question about focusing is that the aperture should not be fully opened. When the aperture is fully open, it is difficult to focus without saying anything, and it will also be out of focus.
