Don't forget low light capability and general overall performance. The 50mm lenses are all very sharp, high res. lenses for a very good price (mostly).

Or would the above indicate prime fans prefer a "normal" field of view (*37 votes) rather than the "concentrated" perspective of a telephoto (34 votes), or the "big picture" favored by wide users (29 votes)? Or is it something else, like affordability, availability, size, weight, looks, or ease of replacement? Dan Scott (dangerously unproductive today)** [EMAIL PROTECTED] *That's if you include the 40-43mm lenses with the 50mm. If not, then the "normal" vote drops into last with 31 votes, the "big picture" vaults into the lead with 35 votes, and the "concentrated" telephoto lovers are still in second. **... - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
