hello all. I own the kit lens only and am looking to add a prime (or 2). Is there a huge difference between the 1.7 and 1.4? Is it worth the extra money?

I am traveling to Vietnam Cambodia and Thailand soon so I’d like to add a lens or two. All kinds of photos and some video (I’m a travel agent so I’d use them for my business and website).

Thanks for the advice!

I don't own any primes so can't comment directly, but I would certain want something longer too.  I have found the G7 plus the 14-140 makes an excellent travel kit, though it's not cheap.  As mentioned, the 12-35 is an excellence lens, but it's a premium lens at a premium price!
