Hi Jon, I agree with Bill about never having enough prime lenses, but I much prefer them to zooms. Before I joined PDML, I had two cameras and three lenses. My MF collection now is bigger than that and I didn't have any MF equipment before I joined :-) What I have gained here can't be bought; the exchange of ideas here, seeing others photographs and styles, have changed me from 'click and hope' to someone who is thinking about what he wants to capture all the time. I still have much to learn, but I'm having a lot of fun on the way too (both by with what is seen and/or typed on this list and by actively enjoying photography every time I pick up a camera).
