Any Sony users had any experience with the G Master Sony 50mm? Debating between getting that and the Sigma 50mm. Seem comparable but wasn't sure if anybody had any thoughts?

When I first switched from a zoom lens to a prime lens for street photography, I didn’t expect how much it would reshape the way I approach shooting. A zoom lens gives you flexibility, but that flexibility can also be a trap — I often found myself hesitating, second-guessing whether a scene was “worth” photographing, or fiddling with focal lengths instead of simply capturing the moment. A prime lens removes that decision fatigue. Because you’re locked into a single focal length, your eye gradually adapts to seeing the world in that frame. Instead of wondering whether something might look good, you start composing instinctively. You move your feet, you explore angles, and you commit to capturing the energy of the scene as it unfolds. This constraint is actually liberating. It forces you to focus on fundamentals — composition, timing, and storytelling — rather than technical choices. Over time, it makes you more decisive and more creative, because you’re training yourself to see photographically rather than just “take pictures.” If you’re feeling stuck in your street work, try spending a few weeks with nothing but a prime lens. The discipline it builds might surprise you, and it could help you reconnect with the raw joy of capturing life as it happens.
