Hey guys and gals, I got this Tamron lens (18-270mm), looking for something shorter, smaller, what's a classic lens to hang everywhere ?
- I do 50mm & 85mm prime when I'm on the move.helloeatbreathedrive
- Thanksi_was
- 50mm came to my mindi_was
- I use a Canon Fd with my Fuji t20, such a fun combo :)helloeatbreathedrive
- Really depends on your shooting habits, fav subjects, whether you like shooting narrow or wide and what you attach it to.spl33nidoru
- That being said you can't go wrong with a 50, my fav being the Canon 50mm f/1.4 LTM, sharp yet creamy.spl33nidoru
- I use 35's on my Sony and XT-1, have done for years without relying on anything else. Want something bigger in the frame? Walk closer towards it.face_melter

- I shoot on a Mamiya 6 with a 50 & 90, and find them perfect. I still have my ricoh gr21 and a fuji fixed 35 that are fun too. My vote is 85/90ben_
- considering today's uh... realities.ben_
- Thanks !i_was
- What camera/system? If Canon, try the 40mm pancake. Great affordable small lens.SimonFFM
- Yes Canoni_was
- wow sleek !i_was
- yeah that 40 is nice.ben_
- +1 for 50mm, but all depending on what you want to shootfuturefood
- Any prime lens from any era will destroy that 18-270 in terms of sharpness, contrast, speed, quality. Buy used, make sure you get the right mount.nb
- Ditto @nb and I love the fact combining a 35+ year old lens with a modern camera, still get fantastic results and I find it romantic :)helloeatbreathedrive
- @nb Good to hear that, thanksi_was

- What do you plan on shooting?canoe
- It can go from a bug to a breasti_was
