[QUOTE="Smoke, post: 286868, member: 14162"] I'm glad this topic came up. I am new and ignorant to a lot of things in photography and I want to learn as much as I can, as fast as I can. I am not understanding the whole "Prime Lens" thing. (Please don't laugh, I'm new) I understand that you have one focal length with a lower F-Stop (Meaning better in low light situations). But, this means that me as the photographer, has to move closer or further from the subject instead of using a zoom and staying in one spot. I hear that pics are clearer...I won't need as much light....but to be honest, I have some really good bokeh photos that was taken with my 55-300mm. (Except for the close ups of bugs and stuff). Please understand, I am not questioning, bashing or being judgemental, I just want to understand why I would spend money on, let's say a 85mm when I can zoom my 55-300 to the 85 spot. Please tell me why I should spend the money on a lens that I basically have. Thanks and sorry for the Lens 101 question. [/QUOTE]
