Everyone Says Buy This Lens First… They’re Wrong

Описание: In this video, I share my honest experience using a 50mm f/1.8 lens as my first lens for over a year. This is one of the most recommended lenses for beginners, but is it really the best first lens you should buy?

We’ll talk about the real pros, the limitations nobody mentions, low-light performance, autofocus, APS-C challenges, and whether a prime lens actually helps you become a better photographer.

If you’re starting photography, choosing your first lens, or deciding between a 50mm and a zoom lens, this video will help you make the right decision.
