Re: Zooms vs. primes: the final word and ultimate wisdom

[Bruce Rubenstein]

I think that it is something like practicing scales on a musical 
instrument: it's an exercise to make you better, and not an end in 
itself. A photographer named David Hume Kennerly did something like this 
with a Mamiya 67 with a single wide angle lens (read about him and the 
book that was the result here: 
http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0211/dk_intro.html).

say 2 months, say forcing them to shoot, say one film a week, would
help zoom owner improve?
