Michael, these are persuasive images and my favourite is your #4 of the dog giving her paw but the attractive girl with the dogs, #5 is a close second.

For me, a fixed 90mm lens for city photography is not flexible enough so I usually use a 16-85 on a Nikon DX camera if I don't mind being noticed but I'm here in a Fuji forum because for stealth when I want to be unnoticed I use a Fuji X100F (fixed 23mm lens).

By the way, you have a great country which I have visited many times, especially Brno.

Thank you, David!  I´m glad you like the shots indeed.

I believe that when it´s not a paid job when you have to cover an event, using a high quality prime can make one´s shots better. If it´s a tighter FL, when the scene gets closer it forces to shoot more details, more emotions, but when it´s taking place further away, it gives a nice flattering compression to the scene. It forces to creativity. And knowing that the OP has also a nice wideangle lens, when needed he also has the small f/2 primes, then I believe this is a great addition that will make his photography portfolio really interesting.

I live not far from Brno, there are some really nice places in our coutry. Not very exotic, but the feel of history is definitely here.
