Zooms vs primes reel
In this video, Leica specialist and workshop guide Colin McKinley explains the differences between Leica zooms and prime lenses, breaking down when and where each makes the most sense. From a windy mountaintop in the Rockies for environmental portraiture to live concert photography in a rocking nightclub in downtown Denver, Colin breaks out his selection of Leica glass to demonstrate real-world applications for zooms versus primes.It's not about which lens is best — it's about which actually makes sense for the way you shoot. 📩 Have questions?
