If you want to ensure that you'll never become a good photographer, IMO, use
a zoom lens, crop everything, and scan everything into Photoshop. You'll
squander all your time and creative energy diddling around with "almost good
enough" photographs after the fact, and never learn to strengthen your
seeing. >>
C'mon Mike, zooms are bad? Or is it "only primes" can do the work? Some
serious "pro" photographers ~cannot~ use primes very easily: Safari shooters
working out of the back of a Land Rover for example.
But you may be referring to "hobbyists," those who have all the time in the
world to use primes and the luxury of composing by "zooming with their feet,"
a tactic totally necessary in those days when zooms literally sucked.
Some insist only primes are worth a damn shooting portraiture, while many,
myself included, prefer zooms.
Challenge: If the photographers had not so indicated what lens they used for
their submissions, you would be hard pressed to say which of the March PUG
entries were taken with zooms and which with primes.
