[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 527980, member: 26505"] Example please, what situation would require/prefer the 50mm fixed in low light where you wouldn't go for the zoom where I am looking at a difference in F2.8 vs F1.8. Especially for walking around. I don't have a problem with not using a zoom. I tend to forget that I can. I am thinking specific applications for a fast prime lens, yes? I understand the prime has less glass to shoot through, but is there a visible sharpness difference unless you are enlarging? People have their preferences, obviously, based on their needs. It helps me to understand if I know why people are choosing one versus another. I know I will end-up with my own preferences, but right now I look at my lenses and kinda shrug? I did specifically use my 28-75mm f2.8 Macro the other day because it can focus at a pretty close distance. Both of my lenses were given to me so I don't plan on getting rid of them. This discussion is for learning. [/QUOTE]
