[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 197021, member: 15302"] I am biased towards primes ever since 1981 when I traded in a new Minolta zoom for a Minolta 105mm prime. The trade was because my photos were coming out a little blurry. The 105 seemed to fix that. Now I have a D600, and for nostalgia I bought an old used Nikon 105mm 2.5 lens for $75.00. You have to set the focus and aperture manually. Here's a pic from that combo: [ATTACH=CONFIG]52101._xfImport[/ATTACH] He would only hold still for a minute, and the focus is just a little behind his eyes, but you can see how crisp the hair on top of his head looks. This supports what others said above: get what you like and learn to shoot it. [/QUOTE]
