Tiny Tomato
A couple of weeks ago, I took the plunge and sold all of my zoom lenses, replacing them with a single Zeiss 50mm f1.4 T* Planar prime. It’s manual focus too, so it really is as primitive as it gets.
And this is key to the idea; bereft of any convenience, I am now forced to consider each and every moment, which is changing the way I take pictures. For the better, I hope.
