[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 434539, member: 24285"] Yes - primes vs zooms - optimal IQ for less with prime - vs zooming with Zoom. Fast primes are more affordable than similar speed / IQ zooms - generally. The weakest lens in my collection I believe is the old 28-80 AFD (Kit lens from the F60). It produces very usable images, just not on par with my 60mm 2.8 prime for example. I could also up the quality on my long lens - the $144 200-400mm Tammy is a fun lens to try my hand at wildlife without spending $1,000++ on a xxx mm - 600mm lens. The two zoom candidates 24-80ish 2.8 or a 70-200 2.8 are both pushing my current funds limits. Maybe an older third party used version. Or not. But a fast prime - that I can swing as they can be in that $500 price range. . . . Maybe I should just get a really good monopod and save for a fast zoom - .... need to improve my ability to delay gratification. Not my strong suit. [/QUOTE]
