So I just bought this Fujifilm X-Pro3 off eBay because it looks so cool and retro and I really want to get into street photography but I realized I literally have no idea what I am doing. My trip to New York is in like five days and I still dont have a lens for the camera!! I was looking online and everyone keeps saying to get a prime lens but I dont really get what that means compared to the ones that zoom? Is it just better quality or something? I feel so stupid asking this.
I have about 450 or maybe 500 dollars left to spend on this and I dont want to carry something heavy around the city all day. I saw some people talking about these specific ones but I dont know which one is better for taking pictures of people and buildings while I am walking around:
- the 23mm f2 one
- the 35mm f2 one
- something called a pancake lens?
If I get the wrong one am I gonna be stuck? I am sorry if this is like a super basic question but everything on YouTube is so confusing with all the numbers and apertures and stuff and I am kind of panicking. Should I just get the smallest one so it fits in my jacket pocket? I really need to order something by tomorrow so it gets here before my flight. Which one is actually the best for a total beginner who just wants those film look shots in NYC...
