Originally posted by gokenin Hello, I am just curious what range of focal lengths do people have that still use primes? I currently have a 28,50 and 70 I am thinking of picking up the 35 and hoping for the 135 but does the 35 seem redundant?
"Still use primes"????
What does that mean?
Focal lengths are one thing that can't be easily answered, mainly because it depends on you and what you like to shoot.
Me personally I love the 28mm focal length on the crop sensor. My list of primes by focal length are: 15, 21, 28, 31, 40, 43, 50, 70 and hopefully soon a 77mm.
I find that I use the 31mm and the 43mm the most. I am kind of itching to get the 77... but long story short the subject matter determines the focal length.
I wouldn't worry too much about being 'redundant' but there does need to be something 'special' that you like about each lens.
