[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 70353, member: 6548"] Primes are funny animals in that every photographer has "their" focal lengths that they are most comfortable with. An example is some street shooters like a really wide angle like the 24. Others do better with 35mm and others do better with 28mm. Then some of them only shoot 50mm. It is really one of them deals were you have to use a few different lenses to figure out what works best with your eyes and style and dynamic. Good primes are not cheap and good primes will always outperform zooms at their respective focal length although nowadays some of the higher end zooms are getting very darn good but not necessarily so great across the whole zoom range. For ME personally the ideal prime kit on my full frame is 28, 50, 85, 105 and I would use only two of them for the vast majority of stuff I do. [/QUOTE]
