I agree a zoom is very convenient, and I would be the first to reach for the 24-70 as the lens of choice on my walkabouts, but occasionally I just get a bit tired of the convenience. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that primes demand more attention in terms of composition, and reward with (in many cases) superior quality and sharpness. I find the level of discipline required with a prime to be quite invigorating and am always glad of my choice after a trip out with one camera and one prime lens. Like the advert says, 'try it you'll like it...' :-) best, Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
