[QUOTE="J-see, post: 421539, member: 31330"] I consider the right lens to be that one which fulfills your demands during any specific situation. That can be a 100$ lens or a 2000$ lens depending upon how much you demand of that lens. There are people perfectly happy shooting cheap lenses and those deliver everything they demand. Are those lenses mediocre? What's mediocre? My 18-55mm kit I had with the D3300 can be considered mediocre compared to the 35mm 1.8 I have on the D750 but to someone who swears by Zeiss, my 35mm is some crap from the dollar store. I don't care what is considered pro or not. I generally like primes and buy them purely based upon optical sharpness in the range I'll shoot them. If that's Samyang for a specific length, I buy Samyang. If it's Nikon or Tamron, I buy those. If they're cheap or expensive don't matter that much if the difference in sharpness justifies the difference in price but for something I only might see when using a magnifying glass on a 100% shot, I ain't paying a thousand more because it's considered pro.
