I'm having a really hard time deciding which PRIME to use for an upcoming event. It's mostly for outdoors and action, but there will be some low-light conditions also. I really want to take the L, but there is just "something" about the other prime that I feel could really transform the ambiance and make it special. I also think this other prime is better built and can take more of a beating (and dish some out too!).

I've made this a POLL, so please give me your input, thanks. So which would you take? Which is the better prime?

Here are the two, first the L:

HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'image/gif'


And here's the other PRIME...

IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'image/gif'


So which would you take?

What kind of sick joke is this? ? ?

I really hope that you are kidding......

Because, if you are not.. you got some issue..

Nobody with right mind will ever compare L lens with an Optimus Prime..

Because, Optimus Prime wins hands down. ^^;

I picked Optimus Prime. It's just too bad he can't tranform into an EF lens and connect to this guy...

Another good choice is (2 to the power of 32,582,657) − 1 which is the largest known prime. Not sure if its EF-S though.
