Shaded Rose

With just a hint of backlight to complete that "designer catwalk" look... if flowers could I'm sure they would.

little did I know...

way back in March 2015, I started this thread because I was clueless and looking for answers on buying my first prime...

10,000 posts later and we're all still here, hunting down that next prime...

I've learned a lot from all of you who have contributed here and I thank you for your knowledge, your opinions, and your experience...

without this thread and my participation in the Single In and Daily In Challenges, I probably would have gotten frustrated and wandered off, missing out on all of this...


thank you

Thanks for starting this thread Dave. We have all learned from each other, and found lenses we had never thought to look for.

Do you have any lenses that you found early in your adventure, that still spark you. One or two 24mmm or 55mm perhaps? Lenses you had from early days and will never part with.

If it helps, I have a few that I bought early in my two-year adventure with primes that still keep me very engaged and I cannot imagine selling: Sigma EX DG 105mm macro, Pentax K 55/f1.8, Pentax M 200mm, Vivitar (Komine) 135mm/f2.8, Pentax SMC DA 70mm Limited. Your work with wide angles has pushed me to a new way of thinking about setting up shots with my Vivitar (Cosina?) 24mm or Pentax M 28/f3.5.
