Nikon Z 40mm f2

Do a quick search and you will find nearly 100% positive reviews for this inexpensive native AF lens.  New: $225, used $190ish.  This is a definite inclusion to a travel / street photography bag.  As seen here, zero edits, AF-S, full Auto (yes, I admit that I often shoot Auto on walks because I don’t have the time or care for math and “optimization” when walking). I am happy.  My boy was happy.  Even the green grass seems happy despite the El Paso summer temperatures.

Let go

If you have a quality lens and your camera was born after 2015, let it do what it thinks is best on ISO, shutter, and aperture. The most I ever get as far as missed photos is unwanted blur if an animal or bug moves too quickly.  Enjoy the scenery and focus on composure and finding moments.
