What are prime lenses?
It’s common knowledge that prime lenses offer superior sharpness to their zoom-type equivalents. The reason for this is that there are no moving components in them, which is one of the factors that contribute to lens diffraction.
Because of this phenomenon, light particles will ricochet when they reach the sensor of your camera, which will result in a reduction in the clarity of the images you capture.
It does not make a difference what kind of lens you have. This is a phenomenon that arises in the field of optical physics.
When using extremely small apertures like f/16 or f/22, the quality of your photos may suffer as a result of a phenomenon known as lens diffraction.
This is especially important to keep in mind while working with a zoom lens. It is possible that doing so will give your files a grainy appearance, analogous to the grain that is produced when shooting at a high ISO.
