sell 14 and 45? then what?

The Internet World is full of people trying to impose their choices on others, and of lemmings following the marketing claims - as a Mod you should know.

I contend instead that choosing lenses is a v- personal choice - would you go to a painter and impose your own palette?

Even, if you have no idea of the use of a lens, what can you advise? I read about someone who has a 45mm, that is a 90mm eq.,  living perpetually on his OM-D - it would never do for me.

So we are down to the most universal lenses, which are the well known 35mm eq. and 50mm eq. Everything else is deeply subjective, including the choice primes/zooms.

And yet we see al the time people asking for the Magical Number of Primes, as if it could save their skins

I find these predictions for 2013 interesting:

Pros will spend almost as much in photography courses than in gear. And they will have at least an idea if they are going to shoot marriage, portrait or documetary. Different gear needed, don't you find?

So let's advise to take photography courses, instead of the Magical Number of Primes
