My first lens was a Takumar-A 28-80. As the newbie I was, I got very frustrated with my own skill. Especially all the shots of backlit scenes that became dull and grey. When I got a A-50/1.7, I realised that it was not only me; but also the lens. Years later, on the PDML, I learned what a dog that Tak-A is; one of the few SLR lenses not multicoated...
Anyway, I have prefered primes since then, but ever since I bought Cotty's Sigma 80-200/2.8 a while ago, I think I'm developing a soft spot for zooms again. The versatility of zooms is just great. Especially for travel kits. cheers, Jostein > > --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Both primes and zooms have their place. [snip]
