Originally posted by alamo5000 I have a few full frame primes including the 3 amigos so on a certain level I could get a K1 tomorrow and make use of it. That said I have been walking around making myself really use a zoom lens as of late and that's been growing on me.
Although going a little off-topic here, I think this is worth acknowledging. I started with zooms, shifted toward primes, and now find myself in a situation where
good quality,
fast zooms at the shorter end - 17-50 f/2.8, and 28-75 f/2.8 specifically - do most of what I need, depending on what that need is. My DA and DA Limited lenses between 15 and 40mm are seeing less use than I expected right now (though I do love my DA35 f/2.4 plastic fantastic, and I still love those Limited lenses even if I use them less). Also, having bought a Sony-A-mount-based FF camera a few weeks back along with a 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8, I'm again finding that most of my needs are covered by those high quality zooms (which is just as well, considering the price of additional high-end A-mount lenses!!). There are plenty of situations where a fast and/or compact and/or light-weight prime is a better choice, for sure... but I'm surprised at how satisfactory I find a good quality zoom to be...
