I bought a 35mm f/1.8 Prime lens with my Sony A6000 which I love. I'm looking for something in the 50mm variety and f/1.8 now.
I thought a lense was 'prime' if it was a fixed focal length, but I see the 50mm I'm looking at isn't called a Prime lense, but it's not a zoom lense either. Am I overthinking this? Kinda new at photography. The main reason I question it is because my 35mm prime lense was substantially more expensive than the 50mm I'm looking at now. I'm not sure why a 35mm would cost $150 more than a 50mm. Same aperture f/1.8
