Actually for the fireworks it was the kit lens also. I tried the zoom at first but it didn't work well for fireworks.
I'm not even really sure what a prime lens is yet. LOL |
Remember the infamous Nikkor/Nikon 50mm 1.8 "prime" lens I was telling you about? The one that's only about $100, but is a total champ? That's a prime...meaning, it is not a zoom lens, it only snaps at 50mm.
Primes are really fantastic and fun and once you get one, it's usually the one you use the most, by far! You can get fabulous bokah/bokeh with primes and you have a lot of control w/ them which is fun.
Primes are great lenses to use when learning how to really use your manual mode too, btw. I have a 50mm prime and a 30mm - love them both! Wouldn't mind also having an 85mm, but don't really need it, lol.
