Prime lenses have a wider maximum aperture than zooms, enabling you to take advantage of a shallower depth of field. Depth of Field refers to the range of focus in your image.

How many prime lenses do you need?

A basic prime lens kit should have at least three lenses: one wide-angle, one standard focal length and one telephoto. For general purpose or portrait photography, I recommend a moderately wide lens, a normal lens and a short telephoto lens, such as a 35mm, 50mm, 85mm combo.

Is 24mm good for portraits?

A 24mm lens is also great for those tight spots where you want to capture the full body of your subject and can’t use any longer focal length due to limited space. This can be common in restricted spaces, such as churches, indoor venues, and even portrait studios!

Do you need both 50mm and 85mm? Newer cameras help with this thanks to advanced eye AF, but still, it’s something you need to be aware of.
