Sort of. When I migrated to full-frame 12 months ago, I bought a Nikon D750. As much as I enjoyed Canon, it just offered more value for my money. The kit zoom 24-120 f/4 is decent and extremely useful, but right now I am loving my new prime, a Tamron 35 f/1.8.

Thank you, very insightful!

At the moment, I'm reluctant to increase my budget and buy high-end equipment (e.g. FF bodies) because I'm concerned I won't need it if I decide to concentrate on other hobbies.

Do you find your new prime covers all-round photography (e.g. events, casual walks etc)? I've heard some raving reviews about the Canon 85/1.8 and of course the nifty fifties and while I love to move around as I compose a shot, I'm not sure if I'll like not being able to zooooooooom...:-P
