It happened to come attached to a Pentax ME Super I found cheap, and I gave the lens away almost immediately.</p> <p><strong>So my history of shooting film (and using the same vintage lenses digitally on my Sony NEX) was almost exclusively with primes. </strong></p> <p>This honed my technique of getting used to the particular field of view of a particular lens, as there was simply no way to adjust it. I like this consistency – it’s one less setting to adjust, a great help when I was starting out with film especially, with all the other adjustments you can make.</p> <p><strong>Then one day I read a review of a reputedly excellent Minolta MD Zoom 35-70mm f/3.5 Macro. </strong></p> <p>The review – and the subsequent photographs I found online – made the lens too good to ignore, despite it being a zoom.</p> <p>So I bought one.</p> <p>Essentially, being a bit intimidated by the range of focal lengths (though 35-70mm is modest for a zoom!), I set it to 70mm and started to experiment with the NEX.</p> <figure data-shortcode="caption" id="attachment_5763" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5763" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img data-attachment-id="5763" data-permalink="https://35hunter.blog/2017/02/25/rise-of-the-anti-zoom-why-i-never-zoom-with-a-zoom-lens/17431642943_e75e6ae597_b/" data-orig-file="https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/17431642943_e75e6ae597_b.jpg" data-orig-size="1024,680" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="17431642943_e75e6ae597_b" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/17431642943_e75e6ae597_b.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/17431642943_e75e6ae597_b.jpg?w=739" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5763" src="https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/17431642943_e75e6ae597_b.jpg?w=739" alt="17431642943_e75e6ae597_b" srcset="https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/17431642943_e75e6ae597_b.jpg 1024w, https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/17431642943_e75e6ae597_b.jpg?w=150&h=100 150w, https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/17431642943_e75e6ae597_b.jpg?w=300&h=199 300w, https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/17431642943_e75e6ae597_b.jpg?w=768&h=510 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-5763" class="wp-caption-text">Sony NEX 3N, Minolta MD Zoom 35-70mm f/3.5 Macro lens</figcaption></figure> <p><strong>Another factor for choosing 70mm was this was the end at which the “macro” focusing was available.

And a 50mm prime. Or a 40mm prime, 60mm prime, or anything between. But let’s keep this simple for my argument and stick to 35, 5o and 70mm. Also because those are the three numbers marked on the barrel and easiest to set.</p> <p><strong>What I don’t do, on a photowalk, is this –</strong></p> <p>Stand in one position, look all around me, spot something interesting to photograph then point my camera and zoom in or out until it fills the frame as I wish, then take the photograph.</p> <p><strong>Before I begin the walk, I already decide what focal length I’ll use, set the lens to that, and then treat it as a prime. </strong></p> <p>By doing this I can focus on how the world looks at that focal length, with that lens. I have a consistency, a uniformity to work with.</p> <p><strong>Also there’s the distortion factor. </strong></p> <p>Put simply, the same subject, filling the frame in the same way, will look quite different when photographed at different focal lengths. <a href="http://johncarnessali.com/camera-lens-tests/what-is-the-best-lens-focal-length-for-portrait-and-head-shot-photography/4433" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This post and collage of images</a> is a great visual demonstration.</p> <p><strong>For me personally, I don’t want a set of images from one photowalk with one lens where they’re all distorted in different ways. </strong></p> <p>I’d find this confusing and frustrating.</p> <p>This is mostly down to my inexperience in using a wide range of focal lengths (my default and most used by far is <a href="https://35hunter.wordpress.com/2017/02/22/the-fall-of-the-50s-philanderer-or-how-i-found-the-perfect-50mm-lens/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a 50mm lens</a>) but partly my desire to keep things simple and clean with photography.</p> <p><strong>If I introduce too many options, too many variables, it takes away the escapist and immersive pleasure of photography. </strong></p> <figure data-shortcode="caption" id="attachment_5808" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5808" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-attachment-id="5808" data-permalink="https://35hunter.blog/2017/02/25/rise-of-the-anti-zoom-why-i-never-zoom-with-a-zoom-lens/32239366283_889e057a1c_b/" data-orig-file="https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/32239366283_889e057a1c_b.jpg" data-orig-size="1024,681" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="32239366283_889e057a1c_b" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/32239366283_889e057a1c_b.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/32239366283_889e057a1c_b.jpg?w=739" loading="lazy" class=" size-full wp-image-5808 aligncenter" src="https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/32239366283_889e057a1c_b.jpg?w=739" alt="32239366283_889e057a1c_b" srcset="https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/32239366283_889e057a1c_b.jpg 1024w, https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/32239366283_889e057a1c_b.jpg?w=150&h=100 150w, https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/32239366283_889e057a1c_b.jpg?w=300&h=200 300w, https://35hunter.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/32239366283_889e057a1c_b.jpg?w=768&h=511 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-5808" class="wp-caption-text">Sony a350, Minolta AF 35-70mm f/4 lens</figcaption></figure> <p>With digital photography lately I’m trying to simplify further too, and so by using a particular lens like the Minolta AF 35-70 always at 70mm, with the same ISO setting on the camera, and keeping all other creative options neutral, it allows me to just focus on composition, and, er, focus.</p> <p>Rather than for every shot drowning in a myriad of decisions and options before I even press the shutter button.</p> <p><strong>So it becomes more like the simple and joyful experience I feel when using film cameras.</strong></p> <p>Next, I’m looking forward to going out and using this Minolta at 50mm. Given its performance at 70mm, I’m hoping it will be pretty formidable at 50mm too, and might even surpass and supplant some of my current 50mm favourites.</p> <p>But for now I’ll stick with treating it as my favourite 70mm prime.</p> <p><strong>How do you use zoom lenses?

The 35mm end has some *wicked* barrel distortion, but back it off to 50 and it’s ok. And that distortion is fairly easily corrected in Photoshop.

An example of when it’s worth seeking out a certain zoom.</p> <p>I think there are a lot of cheap and mediocre zooms, and they tend to set the expectations for us. We then assume all zooms are poor. But if we seek out a few of the gems out there (both Minolta 35-70s I mentioned above I would include), they can be comparable to a prime, unless under extreme testing. </p> <p>Also, I think sometimes a zoom used at a certain focal length might be more affordable and available than a prime. </p> <p>I’ve had three 35-70mm zooms (and still have two of them) and nearly always use them at the 70mm end. I don’t think there are many (any?) primes in M42 or Minolta AF (or any other mount!) in this focal length.</p> <p>There tend to be a few expensive 85mms, then it jumps to maybe 100 or 105 then 135mm (or something like a 100-200mm zoom). Between 50 and 105mm say (I have a gorgeous and surprisingly affordable 105/2.8 Takumar) there aren’t many affordable options, so a quality 35-70mm or 28-80mm at the tele end can be a good alternative. </p> <p>I would recommend either of the Minolta 35-70s for this approach in a second.</p> </div><!-- .comment-content --> </article><!-- .comment-body --> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-275" class="comment byuser comment-author-jimgrey even depth-3 parent"> <article id="div-comment-275" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a9a4770e8dec0795b22e72ebc67ac338c234473c4e94c37734b26053a92a5fb2?s=54&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a9a4770e8dec0795b22e72ebc67ac338c234473c4e94c37734b26053a92a5fb2?s=54&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a9a4770e8dec0795b22e72ebc67ac338c234473c4e94c37734b26053a92a5fb2?s=81&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a9a4770e8dec0795b22e72ebc67ac338c234473c4e94c37734b26053a92a5fb2?s=108&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a9a4770e8dec0795b22e72ebc67ac338c234473c4e94c37734b26053a92a5fb2?s=162&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/a9a4770e8dec0795b22e72ebc67ac338c234473c4e94c37734b26053a92a5fb2?s=216&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-54' height='54' width='54' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> <b class="fn"><a href="http://blog.jimgrey.net" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Jim Grey</a></b> </span> <a href="https://35hunter.blog/2017/02/25/rise-of-the-anti-zoom-why-i-never-zoom-with-a-zoom-lens/#comment-275"> <time datetime="2017-02-25T22:42:58+00:00"> <span class="comment-date">February 25, 2017</span><span class="comment-time screen-reader-text">10:42 pm</span> </time> </a> </div><!-- .comment-metadata --> </footer><!-- .comment-meta --> <div class="comment-content"> <p>I picked up that zoom on the dirt cheap not knowing just what I was getting.
