Let's settle this once and for all...

Every photographer has that one lens they'd take with them to a desert island (or, let’s be real, a weekend trip to the coast).

If you could only shoot with ONE focal length for the rest of your life, which one are you locking in?

1️⃣ The "Nifty Fifty" (50mm) - For that perfect natural eye perspective and gorgeous portraits.
2️⃣ The Wide-Angle (24mm) - To capture the stunning Irish landscapes and dramatic skies.
3️⃣ The Street Favorite (35mm) - For telling stories on the move.
4️⃣ The Portrait Master (85mm) - For razor-sharp subjects and creamy bokeh.

Or maybe you prefer a zoom? Cast your vote in the comments! Tell us why, and tag a fellow photographer who needs to defend their choice!
