After buying and selling many lenses, I've narrowed my kit down to five primes that cover the focal lengths I shoot most often -- 20mm to 90mm. I've had a few zooms, and still own the DA 55-300 for the occasional longer telephoto shot, but I've sold all the rest (I've even sold the DA 55-300 twice before buying it a third time
). My problem has been that I couldn't bring myself to use a zoom lens when I knew I had primes that could be doing a better job.
I'm looking for wisdom on prime lens-only shooting. I didn't find much in my search here at PF, or on Google. I did find
Ken Rockwell's opinions, as well as
this article which is similar to what Rockwell has to say. They were mostly giving reasons why shooting with primes can make one a better photographer rather than sharing strategies for various situations. Anyway, if you have learned something about choosing which focal lengths for what, or getting the most out of a session using a one or two lenses, or anything else about living without zooms, please post.
