Prime lens
A lens with a fixed focal length.
What is prime lens?
A prime lens has a single, fixed focal length (like 50mm or 100mm) rather than a zoom range. Prime lenses typically offer superior sharpness, wider maximum apertures, and often better build quality than comparable zooms. Many product photographers prefer primes for their optical excellence.
