Re: What is your holy trinity pf primes?

For me, at first, it was:

Panasonic 12-32mm + 20mm f1.7 + Oly 45mm f1.8

I knew I wanted to go wider even before buying into M4/3 with those three, so I soon ended up with Oly's 9-18 and even the Bower 7.5 FE. That still left me wanting something wide BUT brighter, so eventually I ended up at:

Oly 12mm f2 + Pana 20mm f1.7 + Oly 45mm f1.8

If portability wasn't such a big priority I'd possibly replace the 20mm with a combination of Panasonic 15mm f1.7 + Panasonic 25mm f1.4 (or Oly 25/1.8)... So effectively it'd be four primes rather than three.

It'd be a lot to juggle mentally tho; and there's several other choices I'd rather bring or mount right now to bother with that, including the UWA, FE, and a tiny 35-100 f4-5.6 I want to start using more.

The three primes are seeing more use lately simply because I haven't been out to shoot during the day nor traveling anywhere so it's been mostly social occasions, largely at night.
