This may seem odd but I’d like to hear people’s perspective on this.
I am a working freelance photographer. Lots of news, portraits, events.
I currently use 2 Sony bodies with the classic 24-70 and 70-200. I love the 70-200 for the reach and range. But I often find myself setting the 24-70 to a wider focal length and leaving it. I rarely zoom in and out. The ONLY time I use the 24-70 is news assignments where I don’t know what to expect.
I also have a 24, 35 and 85 primes that I love. I use the 24 & 35 all the time for any events or news stuff where I know what to expect.
I’ve been thinking about selling the 24-70 and getting a 50 prime and being done with the wider zoom. I love the lighter lenses, the faster aperture options, and the simplicity.
Would this be a mistake? How do y’all view this ?
