[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 196787, member: 1061"] If you're asking this question, you're not going to notice the difference anyway. My opinion on lenses is this: The biggest quality difference in lenses is all about the f-stop. A 5.6 lens is never going to be able to produce the same quality as a 2.8 lens (in most situations). Photography is all about lighting, and a 5.6 lens just can't make good use of available lighting. Unless you're a commercial professional where every single detail counts, all those tech reviews about IQ, chromatic aberration, blurring in the corners...all of it...it's just useless and confusing to the average Joe. As a general rule, primes produce a higher quality, sharper image than their zoom counterparts. The trade-off is that primes aren't really adaptable for obvious reasons. [/QUOTE]
