[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 528012, member: 6277"] Having grown up the the 35mm film age where the 50mm was the lens that came with your camera and was all I could afford for a long time I understand how to use it. With the limitations of film in low light the extra light that a 1.8 or 1.4 could give was important. But with cameras like I have now, the D7100 and D750, that extra stop is just not as important to me. I really like the zooms better. My main go to lens is my 24-120 F4. I do have a ultra wide that is 2.8. There are times that you just can not walk to zoom so a real zoom lets you get that shot you can not walk to. [/QUOTE]
