I am used to primes but the idea of having a shallow zoom appeals to me about as much as a nice, in between prime does. The advantages of not having to switch or move around to be able to get a shot are there. I can still get the shot with a 21 but it means moving around. Not a big deal but if it is something like a quick shot of something my daughter is doing, that might not be possible.
Originally posted by TrailRunner I have the 10-20 and the HD DA 21. Used to have the SMC 21, but the flare issues on hikes
prompted me to sell it.
/ Great photos with the 10-20 there. Makes it difficult to decide.
The samples in the 21 and 10-20 section are pretty similar.
