I got the 18-135mm kit lens and I'm looking to get some primes that are sharper. I really liked close up photography on my Japan/Asia trip (with my non close up kit lens) so I'm looked into some macro lenses. Just bought the FA 100mm F2.8 macro which is on its way.
Originally posted by hcc The IQ of good primes can be outstanding, and worthwhile to consider in my opinion. In addition, a prime lens will push you to use your feet, to move around and ultimately will help you to become a better photographer IMHO.
Yes! There are so many prime options it's overwhelming haha. I almost bought the FA 50mm f1.7 because of the great reviews but then I chanced upon the Voigtlander 58mm f1.4 and fell in love with the IQ. However I have been looking everywhere for it in the K mount version to no avail...

Haha I can totally see how this hobby gets expensive very quickly. Currently looking into macro photography set up and a good tripod, head, rails, flash, lens etc. really adds up.
