[QUOTE="Chris E, post: 424024, member: 26147"] So, look at the various pictures on this forum and around the internet, and in print. Can you tell which ones were shot with a prime and which ones were shot with a zoom? Even side by side, there are tangibles that go into sharpness that depend on the user. I see alot of crap in magazines....I get some travel magazines and the pix are horrible, probably from alot of primes. I would put that pic I posted of the windmill in best of first time out with the camera, shot with the deplorable :) 24-120 at f16 without tripod, and the stuff you have been posting at night, against most of the stuff I see in mags or anywhere. I stand by my assertion that 99% of the time for most of our uses a zoom is just fine, especially the ones under discussion...chasing speed of primes when DOF is so shallow and lugging all of those primes around is not something I am into. Sharp photos can be achieved with these good zooms easily with good technique...the same technique required to shoot sharp photos with primes and that sharpness difference will be negligible in the real world. Again, depending on what the OP wants to use it for. The OP asked for advice, I assume for general use and advising a prime(s) is different from what I suggest. The OP can take all opinions into account and make the decision he/she can live with.....we just offer opinions on what works best for each of us :). But, I see what you mean by wanting more once you experience it. A few years back I had my heart set on a BMW 335, that is until I test drove an M3. That test drive cost me about $20k. [/QUOTE]
