Photographers today are spoiled for choice with lens options. When I was a professional sports photographer, we didn’t have the luxury of superzooms that covered every focal length imaginable.
If you wanted to shoot anything properly, you had to carry half a dozen primes and switch between them depending on the moment. There was no such thing as a 180-300mm, 50-150mm or even a 100-500mm lens that could do it all. You had to plan ahead, travel heavy and commit!
