We discuss these topics regarding lenses on this show: Lens philosophy - Should you buy fixed focal length primes or rather go for more versatile zooms? And what would be the reasons to choose either one? Creativity - What are the creative reasons that you should consider when choosing a new lens? Consider changing perspective or using unusual focal lengths for an extraordinary look in your images. Focal lengths - When to use what and how to get more use out of each lens for landscape, architecture, portrait, sports or bird photography. To image stabilize or not to image stabilize - There are good reasons why your lens may not need an IS.   Marco’s favorite lens picks: Fujinon XF 16mm f1.4 R WR http://bhpho.to/2uPVpaZ with optional LH-XF16 metal lens hood http://bhpho.to/2utk1Uv Fujinon XF 56mm f1.2 R http://bhpho.to/2uPWsI4 Leica Summilux-M 35mm f1.4 ASPH http://bhpho.to/2utc8OS Canon TS-E 24mm f3.5 L II Tilt-Shift-Lens http://bhpho.to/2uQjyhO   Scott’s favorite lens picks: Fujinon XF 90mm f2 R LM WR http://bhpho.to/2uszPa5 Canon EF 14mm f2.8 L II USM http://bhpho.to/2uQHIsC Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f4 IS PRO http://bhpho.to/2p34muh Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f1.8 http://bhpho.to/2qsh1Vu   Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H without our link.
