Just returned after many years hiatus from this forum. I was a bit of a prat before, if I ever offended you, I'm sorry

Back in the day, a lot of people just had their 50mm primes that hey bought with their bodies. I wonder if zooms have made us lazy, and I wonder if that could lead to inferior photography. Using a standard type prime may force me to move around more for the right shot and thus explore the subject more than if I had a zoom. So, I wonder if getting a prime vs a zoom would actually be good for my photography? Absollutely limiting for me. With a zoom, I start zooming with the lens and not with my feet and it's just wrong from the photographical point of view. National Sarcasm Society. Like we need your support.

I really think it helps you learn more about composition. The image quality is pretty good, too!

Is that a reasonable price, or should I spring for a brand new one from B&H (my normal photo shopping haunt)?

If this is off ebay, if the person has a strong rating. Something of that sort. Go UCLA
