Sunrises and sunrise time are the perfect antidote to thinking that a prime lens or lenses, however great the optics, can be your only tool. Sunrises cry out for a variety of focal lengths and the conditions change from second to second.
So while yesterday I was wanting the 50mm f/1.2L lens, today I want the 24-70mm f/2.8L. My current zoom, the RF 28-70mm f/2.8 STM, is very competent but the 24-70mm lens is better. Of course, it costs over twice as much and weighs almost twice as much. Maybe a kit with both for small and light versus better image and build quality depending on the scenario?
And then why not also the 50mm f/1.2 lens? And maybe even an EOS R8 to pair with the 28-70mm lens? I can think of many thousand reasons.
Here is this morning's sunrise time at lock E5. Not in chronological order.
