What f-stop should i get on a prime lens if i want to do Landscape Photography?
I need a prime lens for landscape photography, and i dont know whether i need a really low f-stop (f1.8 or f2), or if i can get away with a higher f-stop number (f3.5 or f4). Or on the other hand, should I just get a zoom lens ? but i heard they decrease quality and the f-stop number can be higher. thanks
For landscape photography, you want the highest depth of field you can get away with (higher depth of field means more things in focus, from background to foreground), which means you will want the highest f-stop number possible. Depending on the lighting conditions, you may need a tripod, since a higher f-stop setting means less light coming into the lens).
Some people nowadays claim that modern zoom lenses give image quality as good or nearly as good as prime lenses. I can’t say for sure (I don’t have a modern prime to compare), but I can honestly say that in the past zoom lenses were very inferior to prime lenses. I’m guessing they still are, at least for film photography.
