this seems to have been recently introduced, started seeing this about a month ago. Also not sure what triggers it exactly unfortunately :/

I second having a decent 50mm equivalent lens for starters, they're pretty versitile and compact.

I personally quite like being constrained to one focal length, I feel like it really taught me to be more deliberate about my positioning, framing and composition, but you'll have to figure out whether that's a style of photography you enjoy.

Having a zoom for the flexibility is definitely also nice and fun to try out and invaluable in some settings

In the end, I guess it really comes down to what you end up taking photos of, and which approach is more fun to you.

Have fun! :)

especially in the first few months, it can take a bit for the hormone levels to settle in and your body to get used to them.

If you have the option, getting your blood levels checked every few months can be helpful in the beginning to see whether you might need a higher dose to get into the desired ranges, but I feel like in the end, you feeling comfortable with how the levels feel for you and the changes is the most important thing.
