[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 333312, member: 15356"] I'm not sure what it is about primes that calls to me, that always makes me lean towards them whenever I'm choosing a lens to use. But some of the reasoning you all have makes sense! :) I'm just not sure if this was my subconscious reasoning or not, but it sounds reasonable to me the way you guys put it! Lol :) I think I just feel that it is more likely I'll get the shot the way I'm wanting it with a prime instead of a zoom. Like the odds are better or something! Lol :) Maybe that sounds stupid, but that's the way it seems to me. So maybe it's not the lack in zooms, but the lack in my a abilities when using zooms. I just don't know. Well whatever the reason, I am a primes junky! Lol Maybe one day I'll use a zoom that changes this,a bit at least. Because I think a good zoom would make the better walk around lens, being more versatile allowing for more chances of good shots! I just don't want to end up buying a zoom for walk around use, and end up unsatisfied or worse yet hating it. I suppose that is why I haven't bought a lens for walk around uses. But for the v1 I suppose my 30-110 is a good lens for that camera. I just don't have one I'd call a walk around lens for my D300. I don't know, I guess I'll give all of this and your replies some thought. Because for now, I'd choose my 105mm lens for walk around prime, and I know that limits my opportunities for different shots that might be available.......................:( [/QUOTE]
