Use one lens and get to know it in and out.it will work wonders for you. Sailing "Footprints: Real to Reel" (Ronn ashore) says: I use a 50mm on M4-2 and a Zeiss 25mm on Yashica. I sometimes feel I'm "missing out" with the 50mm and often need to step back a little bit. i think the 35mm gives me just enough space outside the framelines in a. the majority of my shots are with the 35mm and then the 50mm comes in second place. the 50mm frame does give a kind of intensity that may be lost with a wider lens.sticking with the 50mm for now at least! Have been experimenting more with the 50mm in how i compose my shots.and have found i can get similar results to my fave photographers (Richards etc) who i know used 35mm lens. But with the 35mm the vertical choice was mainly due to my attempt to crop in the finder. With the 50mm I did so mostly because the composition was more dynamic that way. The answer, I found out, was that I chose the vertical for different reasons. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but why? I wondered. So on a trip to Greece I took just a 35mm, but I still ended up with a lot of vertical shots. I started to notice that I took a lot of pictures in vertical format with my 50, and I thought that if i only used a 35 I would take a lot less pictures this way and instead go horisontal. Granted I'm still looking for a wide angle shot but i find the 50mm such a versatile lens It does force you to think more about the shot and less about what lens should i use.
That process will give you that answer and what lens to use. I suggest you worry less about what others have done and find your own voice. What matters is your photography and using the lenses that suit your needs. Henri Cartier Bresson and Robert Capa did the majority of their work with a 50mm lens.ĭan, in the end it really doesn't matter that Cartier-Bresson or anyone else used a 50mm lens. I have a 50mm summicron, and find myself at times wanting more lenses 35mm for example, anyone else just use a 50mm and do they find it restricting or is one enough?
