About This Course

This course is focused on helping you make decisions about the specific lenses you should buy or rent, and which lenses belong in your camera bag for a given outing. You'll gain insights on the specific attributes you'll want to consider as part of your decision-making process, and learn tips for actually making decisions about lenses. In the process, Tim will share his own perspectives about choosing lenses, and help you determine which gear makes the most sense for your specific needs as a photographer.
