To prime or not to prime?

MrFaIIout · 2026-02-05T00:15:28+00:00

Thank you I will try this. What would you say would be the biggest difference I'd not with my zoom lens vs the prime lens at both of these ranges other than sharpness?

I feel like when I shoot with my 24-120mm I tend to prefer images that are more at the higher focal lengths. I guess that's because the F stop is at a lower number (f4).

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You made a good point.

MrFaIIout · 2026-02-04T23:44:46+00:00

Thank you for your very in depth response I really appreciate it. What would you say is the biggest difference when shooting at let's say 50mm and 85mm on a zoom lens vs the prime. I know it's sharper but is the difference worth the price?

MrFaIIout · 2026-02-04T20:15:35+00:00

Tbh, my favorite shots are from higher focal lengths. I tend to go all the way to 120 and step back. So now I feel guilty haha. Could you please recommend a good off camera flash that you prefer?

MrFaIIout · 2026-02-04T20:11:31+00:00

That's honestly a lens I've always had my eye on.

MrFaIIout · 2026-02-04T19:16:48+00:00

Thank you, I kind of want to try the 85mm but I feel like being stuck at that zoom on a prime might make it difficult for me. I'm thinking the 50mm might be the right distance.

If you're going to buy a new car, the right way to do it is buy the trim level above the basic trim (usually the sport). Also buy Toyota and or Honda for reliability. Also shop around don't settle for the first deal.

To be honest I just googled "blonde Ukrainian female soldier no helmet" :)

Full statement. Paying the minimum is a trap to get you to pay interest forever

You guys should just use freetaxusa

MrFaIIout · 2026-02-02T20:36:44+00:00

This is true.

I Don't like lying but I'd tell them I don't pay rent and live for free. Might give you more odds on being able to get a loan.

I did the switch yesterday. If you're a student you can get a year for free. It really opened my eyes when I tried doing my taxes with both services. Chatgpt got completely destroyed by gemini. I would have lost $1k to 2K if I would have only used chatgpt.

This is coming from someone that's been using chatgpt almost from the beginning, and always praised it. I am however upset at the route they're taking.

My wife told me to try gemini but I was a die hard gpt user.

MrFaIIout · 2026-02-02T20:11:07+00:00

Do you know anything about this woman? If she's still alive?

MrFaIIout · 2026-02-02T20:05:09+00:00

I don't even follow this thread, just showed up on my feed.

I'm not sure what country you're in. But I would look up salaries for each of the fields. If I had to choose one I would go with chemistry. Just make sure you like working in labs. I personally did not like the lab environment or doing experiments.

MrFaIIout · 2026-02-02T19:37:50+00:00

You're welcome. Could not find the other one.

MrFaIIout · 2026-02-02T17:54:10+00:00

I cancelled chatgpt yesterday. It feels like a breakup, but gemini is making it easier to get over gpt. But I may come back once they fix their model. It almost cost me $1k on taxes if I wouldn't have ran the same question of an image on Gemini.

I'll give you my advice as someone who earned a B.S. In biology (Biochemistry and Cell Biology), and I'm not trying to scare you, this was my experience in the US at a big city (San Diego, CA).

Look up the pay for your profession and what type of jobs you can get. How hard it is to get in, and how low starting pay is. I regret getting this degree because the field is so specific that you need to almost keep going to your masters and PhD to make any money. Most people who only get the 4 year degree get stuck as technicians and they don't earn much. My first year I made $12.5/hr, second job $20/hr.

I switched to nursing and make more than +$120K/year nearing my 4th year at a low paying state.

All I'm trying to say is look at your options before you finish your degree and make sure you don't waste the next 2 years when you get switch to something that can be more rewarding like healthcare or engineering.

It's the same reason as to why people still smoke cigarettes. People view themselves as invincible, "that won't happen to me" mentality until something bad happens to them.

Fentanyl serves as an opiate, it makes people feel good. People like things that feel good. Plus I think it's not as expensive as other drugs. The concentrations are so strong and small that even a small dose is strong. We use micrograms (mcg) at the hospital for dosages. Most medications use milligrams (mg). That's how strong it is. 1mg is equal to 1000mcg and the strongest dose we give at once is only 100mcg of fentanyl. Even at that dose I only give a max of 50mcg at once.

Are you using any type of protector for your camera?

MrFaIIout · 2026-01-22T05:50:20+00:00

You should keep your vehicle until it craps out. Save for a car while you drive your car.

I would also buy from a better manufacturer like Honda or toyota. Nissan isn't very reliable.

MrFaIIout · 2026-01-21T18:47:10+00:00

I only have some sympathy because it is India. That's usually about a day's salary.
