Best focal length to add in between 24 and 70?

10 months 4 weeks ago #752761 by Opto Fox
Morning, so if you were after a lens (focal length) between 24 and 70mm, what would be the winning ticket for you?  I have a Z6 so I'm referencing full frame.

A 24mm focal length produces a horizontal angle of view of 74° on a 'Full Frame' sensor, while a 70mm focal length has a 29° angle of view.

Something in between would have an angle of view of about 51°, which would have a focal length of something around 35mm.

I would probably go for something in the range of high 40's to low 50's ,  somewhere between 45 to 55 mm

I have a 24-70mm Art and almost always use it wide open i.e. at 24mm. Thinking of replacing it with a 24mm Art prime. Should point out that I'm using a Sony A7RV which lets me crop extensively.

45 or 50mm. Standard that comes in handy for me.

I would just add a 24-70 zoom. The image quality of modern zooms is such that the need for a prime lens is lessened. Plus the ability to quickly change the focal length to fit what you need.
