[QUOTE="JDFlood, post: 126133, member: 11653"] After getting back into SLR once digital got it's feet on the ground around 2004 with a D200 and some zooms, I am headed firmly back to primes. Now with the D800 I have a basket full of primes, switched my normal from a 50mm f1.4 ( my dads normal along with his Olds) to a 35mm f1.4 and sometimes 28mm f1.8. I have a 185mm zoom, but don't use it much, since I do landscapes and a 185mm will put too much air in between the subject an the camera. I am still addicted to my 14mm - 24mm zoom, but not as much as my 85mm. I think my photography is improving, in part because of it. I get the depth of field better because I have the lens fixed instead of zooming around, I get much better light performance ( dark up here in the Pacific NW). What are other people's experiences over time? JD [/QUOTE]
