PLA: Prime Lovers Anonymous

Up to...15mm fisheye, 24, 35, 50, 85, 135. I don't like that my primes don't zoom, but I can't live without f/1.4.

I got my first two L primes today, haven't done any real shooting yet but I'm already in love (and on my way to addiction) Posted these pictures in the lens porn thread:

24L II
85L II

Congrats on the great glass.

My 135L should arrive by Sunday can't wait to play with it!

Once I get my hands on that I am just one lens short on getting the Prime Holy Trinity

My 400/5.6 has arrived! The problem is that I don't have a camera to use it with atm....

Just sold my 85 1.8. But I replaced it with the 135L that came Wed.

Do I qualify?

I posted this in the camera thread, but I figure that you guys might like to see it as well. Here's my newest toy

I saw that in the camera thread. Got any good shots with it yet? (I'm too lazy to search the lens sample picture forum)

Not yet, I just got it this morning. Although next weekend I'll hopefully be going landscape shooting to try it out

I haven't taken any serious shots yet with my 24L either. I'm under house arrest thanks to my doctor who I see on Monday. I really want to put that to some use for something serious.

Why's that? What happened?

I've had some ongoing conditions I've been more or less able to cope with but something new has popped up recently, it's called pulsatile tinnitus and it is also causing me to be dizzy which is not good when you've got photo gear in your hands. They have run a bunch of tests and I go back Monday hopefully for some answers and what to do about it. In the meantime I catch what I can out of my windows and have been using my kitties as my loyal lens test subjects.

So I'm considering selling the 24-105 and getting the 85 1.8 to complete an all prime setup. This makes me a little nervous, but I could use the money to close on a house. Anybody regret getting rid of their standard zoom and having 35mm be their widest lens?

I have a 24-105 right here that I am selling. Just doesnt' do anything for me, even though it's a really nice lens. I will miss the IS which is divine. I'm a wide angle hoor but right now 35mm is indeed my widest. I will add a 17-40mm or 14mm samyang shortly.

I sold my 450D with the kit lens to fund for a 40D and start my prime collection. Well, I recently got into shooting at a local club and found myself having to borrow a kit lens because the 35mm wasn't wide enough when it came to group shots. Do I regret losing the kit lens, sure, but it just gave me a reason to get the 17-55 2.8 which should be here next week.
