[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 395063, member: 13090"] I really don't like the concept one needs a specific lens, or type of lens, to shoot specific subject matter; e.g. if you want to shoot landscapes you "need" a wide angle lens (and the wider the better, at least to some point). I've shot some pretty decent landscapes with big zooms and normals as well as wide angles. The same goes for street photography and stills. I don't consider myself anything but a mediocre photographer but I do believe at some point we need to stop asking , "What lens do I need to get the shot I want?" and start asking, "How do I get the shot I want with the lens I have?". In my experience the former path leads to gear acquisition, the latter path to better photography. All that being said the 50mm prime is a very capable lens. It's only limitation, really, is the person using it. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
