@SoloSera Gojou and Photo-sis kind of have a similar calming atmosphere at times. Also, if you are going to do photography, why would you stick to just one lens? Macro photos are super cool! Then you have sports photography, landscapes, space photos, etc. God, I miss photo club and the smell of the dark room. If I think about it, it's been a whole decade since then, but I still remember that smell.
I'm afraid photography is different these days. In the old days you'd spend hours setting up a shot, since film costs money. Now you just take a few hundred, and pick out the one that's best. There's a lot you can do with the camera electronics that you used to have to do with lenses, lighting, filters, etc. If you are only taking one kind of shot, like mid-range fashion photos, you really only need one lens. Stand back, get a good field of focus, and just shoot all day.
