    Newsflash: The average person using their phone to take photos shoots different things and at different distances because they do it for enjoyment when the opportunity presents, rather than trying to perfect anything. There are people taking thousands of photos a year on phones, who do not purposefully master or practice anything. It’s not a competition, they’re not trying to get their photo shared across the entire world.

    A modern smartphone allows you to have those different lenses available in seconds. It doesn’t detract from your time shooting, nor do you have to lug around extra gear, or spend extra for yet another multi-thousand euro lens.

    I do wonder, however, which photographer will have one cheap lens for shooting portraits, sports events, wild animals and mountain ranges. Is that even possible?
