 Not sure what lens to buy next let Lightroom help you in today's Friday quickie One of the things that you can do inside of Lightroom is actually look at what focal length you use most of the time And this could become handy when it comes time to buy your next lens or upgrade Maybe a lens that you have currently in your back. Let me show you what I'm talking about Here we are inside of Lightroom and I'm looking at the Filter menu here in my tools panel if you don't see yours head up to view show the filter bar menu right here By selecting the backslash button Once you choose that you'll see it up here And then what you want to do is head under metadata and when we look at metadata We'll see by default a bunch of options here But we could change any one of these features to be anything that we wanted So I'm going to go ahead and change date and going down to focal length And when I do it's going to show me the focal length that I use when taking pictures and To the right of the focal length number you have the amount of pictures related to that focal length So what you could do is just take a sheet of paper and jot down the numbers or the highest numbers that come to mind For example, if I were to scroll down to 50 millimeters I'll notice that I've taken 5,000 pictures at that focal length So if I'm looking at my camera bag, and I have a 50 millimeter lens that maybe isn't the best Glass that money can buy and I'm looking to upgrade my next lens Maybe the 50 millimeter Next best lens is something that I might be considering to buy now. This isn't a full proof method There's a lot of things that come into factoring what lens you're gonna buy But this could sway your decision depending on your circumstances So take a look at your metadata see what focal lengths you use most of the time and let it guide you through the buying process That's all I got for you today. Have a great weekend everybody
