King of the Delta Photo

I’ve been quite into prime lenses lately. I’d rather call them fixed focal length (FFL) lenses to avoid ambiguity, anyway. Not that I can say a lot about the quality difference between a zoom lens and a FFL lens, or about the optical aberrations neither, because my eye is not that sharp yet. But I can tell that having a fixed focal length gets you more conscious of being an active part of the framing. You actually have to MOVE in order to take the picture, you’re literally one with the camera. I’m working with a ROKKOR 50mm f2 (a bit pedestrian) and another ROKKOR, a great 135mm f2.8. In the picture, my mother, taken with a 50mm f1.4 that a friend lent me.
