[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 287596, member: 6573"] I do both and I still suck at it. ;) [URL="https://flic.kr/p/dgEzRF"][IMG]https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8039/8053556805_0927da4aa4_c.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Now going back to the topic about lenses. Just like what fish have previously mentioned, some lenses have their specific character that I like such as the bokeh or how they render out of focus when you are trying to isolate the subject. As a lens enthusiast, I've tried various lenses since I started photography. If you are shooting at f8 with good light, you would probably see very little difference. Once you start using larger apertures, then that's where the more expensive zoom or prime lenses excel. When we talk about cheaper lenses, I am pertaining to the typical kit lenses. Some AIS lenses are cheaper now, some are still good but probably not as good as the newer lenses as far as optical performance is concern. This is subjective depending on how you like how the lens renders the image just like the sample image above. I've tried the older and newer lenses. I've kept what I really like. So why do I and some of the guys tend to buy the more expensive lenses? I have my own reasons that some who are short on cash will probably not agree with my decision but that is just me since I am very particular on how a lens renders the image and not just about sharpness.

I know if I shoot a subject with a kit lens and a pro lens, I know that I will like what the pro lens will render. The bottom line is that use whatever you have.
