Re: Best Prime Lens to Buy [Under $500]

Okay so I probably was a little general in my original post. I guess what I had in mind when I originally wrote the post is a lens that would kind of simulate a cheap film camera like a disposable camera or a consumer film camera from the 70s- 2000s or so. a "Point and shoot lens" for lack of a better term. I have a lot of experience with those types of cameras from when I was younger and I think especially since I'm a beginner a familiar focal length will simplify things. I think I'm looking somewhere between the 15 and 50 mm (35 mm equiv.) focal length. Correct me if you feel I'm wrong on anything though. I plan on buying other primes but I thought it best to start with that range of lenses.

I recommend you to buy a camera with zoom, test it, find focal length that satisfy you and buy a prime. Because 2x crop is not full frame that you had before.
