[QUOTE="aroy, post: 292080, member: 16090"] I have been thinking of whether it is worth while shooting with the primes, when I do not need the extreme DOF or low light capability. On the screen the images from the primes look definitely better, but I just could not put what was better. So I decided to first test the sharpness at the 55mm end with the 50mm prime. [ATTACH=CONFIG]82933._xfImport[/ATTACH] 18-55, cropped [ATTACH=CONFIG]82932._xfImport[/ATTACH] 50mm, cropped [ATTACH=CONFIG]82935._xfImport[/ATTACH] 18-55, 100% [ATTACH=CONFIG]82934._xfImport[/ATTACH] 50mm 100%. Definitely the prime is sharper and has better micro contrast. Note. The 18-55 has lesser minimum focussing distance and is marginally longer than 50mm prime. Hence for same object size it has a larger image size. [/QUOTE]
