    Everyone who has a mirrorless should get themselves a vintage 135mm manual prime. They're ultra cheap (under £50), are great fun, offer amazing image quality and teach you so much about using longer focal length.

    Thank you, both Nigel and James, for creating an Interesting video. Clever idea, each shooting with a different length lens and only that lens. I did enjoy the ‘restrictiveness’ of the challenge. Focuses the mind, bringing frustration and joy in equal parts, I’m sure!
    Now to check out the images! Looking forward seeing the very different results.
    I loved the video of the vertical rain cloud coming down to Earth and moving across the scene.

    Absolutely agree with you in challenging ourselves with restricting focal length. I went out with a 24mm prime and absolutely regretted my decision while shooting with it on top of a hill thought I was missing out on all the details in sky and clouds but was pleasantly surprised to find out later looking at them in Lightroom that I got some really lovely wide shots that I may have never thought of. Thank you for posting such informative and encouraging videos all the time. Will make sure that I tag you on Instagram in the 24mm photos that I took yesterday. Hoping for a quick feedback!!

    As an amateur bird photographer with only one camera body, 99% of the time I've got my 200-600mm lens on. So anything wide angle I'd have to switch to a short lens. It's quite nice to see landscapes done at 200mm, even though that's as wide as I can normally go!
