Prime Lenses

Prime lenses have a fixed focal length, which means they can’t zoom. They are often used for capturing fast-moving scenes like flowing water or hailstorms. With fewer moving parts, these lenses are less complicated and easier to use. They’re also small and portable, making them easy to carry around.

However, there are some drawbacks. Since prime lenses don’t zoom, if you want to get a closer shot, you’ll need to swap lenses, which can be time-consuming and frustrating.

On the bright side, prime lenses usually offer sharper photos and better image quality than zoom lenses. They come in a range of sizes from 12mm to 5200mm, but the focal length is always fixed.
