For ordinary photographers, which lens is suitable for zooming or focusing?

What is involved here is a problem of lens selection, which has three essentials: ordinary, amateur, zoom and fixed focus.

For such a problem, first give some suggestions: for ordinary photographers, choose zoom lenses, and recommend 24-70/2.8 and 70-200/2.8. The main reasons are:

First, their own positioning. Ordinary photographers, as the name implies, are photographers who use their spare time to shoot and deal with their daily lives without a lot of professional accumulation.

Since we position ourselves in this way, you don't need to pursue the "Gao Daquan" of the equipment and the "white beauty" of the work, and the shooting process doesn't need to be so greedy, dedicated and hard.

Second, the characteristics of fixed focus and zoom. The biggest advantage of fixed-focus lens is excellent imaging quality, and the biggest contrarian is that the shooting distance is relatively fixed and inflexible, and only high-quality image can be obtained within a certain distance, which is very suitable for fixed scenes and fixed distances such as photo studios.

The biggest advantage of zoom lens is that it can complete long-distance shooting. If you exaggerate a little, you can shoot objects that are close at hand, or you can shoot the decisive battle scenes of "far away from the horizon", "looking far away" and "thousands of miles away".

From the development of photographic lens, the evolution from fixed focus to zoom is a leap in the practicality and convenience of lens.

Third, the use characteristics of ordinary enthusiasts. For ordinary photographers, the subjects may be Hedong today, Hexi tomorrow, northern Shaanxi now and Shannan immediately. The distance is constantly changing and the scene is constantly updated. Only the zoom lens can meet our shooting needs.

Fourth, why do you recommend it? 24-70/2.8 lens, with moderate focal length, giving consideration to culture and scenery, vivid and delicate picture quality, good color reproduction, small size and light use, can undertake most shooting tasks.

70-200/2.8 lens, with fine and sharp picture quality, is an excellent choice for shooting people, and the large aperture at the telephoto end has obvious blur effect. If you meet the sunrise and sunset, you can also show the charm of the "big sun" very well.

Someone will definitely ask if the 70-200/2.8 lens is good. If you encounter magnificent scenery, you will "look at the scenery and sigh"! The truth is, I'm not afraid of what I can't do, I'm afraid of what I can't think of-"taking pictures."

If you want to continue to pursue simplicity, a 24-70/2.8 lens is generally enough.

The key is to see what the subject mainly shoots in daily life.

It is recommended to buy a fixed focus lens. Fixed-focus lenses with the same aperture size are cheaper than zoom lenses and have better imaging quality. For amateurs, fixed short ones are more suitable for practicing composition. If you buy a fixed-focus lens, you can buy a lens with a particularly large aperture at the same price, so that the background of the photos taken will be blurred.

It is recommended to buy a zoom lens. The zoom lens can shoot a wide range and is flexible. When traveling, you can freely choose the framing range instead of moving back and forth like a fixed focus.

A long zoom lens is recommended. The scope of application is to shoot flowers, birds, fish and insects, mountains and rivers. Especially when shooting some grand scenes, you can use a telephoto lens first. The telephoto lens has a strong sense of compression, which can compress the mountains far away from you and the rivers close to you into a picture like a painting.

1, wide-angle lens is not practical in daily life, so hanging up is not considered. You can rent it when you want.

2. Don't buy a lens with a large focal length span, such as 18-400 focal length. It looks cost-effective and the imaging quality is not good. Many focal lengths are actually not needed.

3. If you have money, you can put 24-70mm, 135mm, 70-200mm, full coverage, perfect.
