Having said that, have I felt restricted? Yes and no. Zooms are fun, in the sense you can do a lot with them. However, at the same time, but allowing you to do a lot, it takes away what you want to focus on. Let me put it this way: if you have a prime lens, you know what you will be seeing *before* you look at the camera, which allows you to focus on the best way to take that picture, rather than zooming in and out.

Now, the fact that I somewhat plan my trips helps, which means I can carry my gear accordingly. Plus prime lenses are usually smaller and lighter so it is not that much of an issue compared to carrying a wide-angle and a telephoto!

Of course, those are my thoughts: other people would certainly disagree!

I found you through Elaine (or who you call Elaine2, I guess).
Being a photography enthusiast, I was drawn to your equipment page, and I was wondering: since you appear to have sold your zoom lenses, don’t you feel a bit restricted by the primes? I mean, for food photography it’s fine, but how about in other situations?
