“Which lens should I use?” This is such a common question in the field, and the answer is at Precision Camera’s latest workshop. Lenses are tools and photographers should treat them as such. The choice between a 10mm lens and 300mm lens is no different than a carpenter using a hammer or a rubber mallet. Each is a tool. Learn about lenses, lens construction, bokeh, and more. Plus see examples. Also, when you should rent a lens and when you should buy a lens.
