What lens should I use to shoot the night scene of Chongqing tomorrow?

(1) Requirements for lens focal length: Chongqing has many mountains, many slopes and narrow roads. In view of this feature, it is best to take a wide-angle lens, such as 16-35mm focal length, if the scenery is mainly taken. If you shoot girls, especially princesa, take a 70-200mm lens.

(2) Maximum aperture requirement of lens: For shooting night scenes, it is required that the amount of light entering is as large as possible, that is, a lens with a relatively large maximum aperture, such as f2.8 or even f 1.2. In this case, the shutter speed is higher (hand-held shooting is not blurred), which can ensure the light entering (the picture is bright enough) and does not need to increase the ISO value (to avoid more noise).

The best scheme under the requirements of professional image quality: it is recommended to take 16-35mm f2.8, 50mm f 1.2 and 70-200mm f2.8 to perfectly deal with 99% of the scenes.

The best solution under the requirement of portability: if it is too heavy, in fact, a 24-70mm f2.8 is basically enough to cope with 80%~90% of the scenes.

Ps: Remember to bring a portable tripod to take a night view when you are on a business trip. If you don't have it or don't want to bring it, you'd better find a place to put it safely and delay taking a selfie.
