Agreed. I sold both my 22 mm and nifty 50 and replaced them with this.

Wow, you really did commit to this!

Indeed. It was partly due to a desire to keep a small kit and partly for financial reasons, considering that the 30 mm fulfills most of the scenarios that I used those two lenses for in the past, and I might as well recoup some of its cost. The one exception is longer focal length portraits (like headshots), but the telephoto I will eventually get should do a good enough job for that, as well as other things that I've been missing without a telephoto lens, of course. The bottom line is that I just don't/won't really need the 22 and 50 anymore.

Certainly.  And a normal to short telephoto prime will really help hone one’s compositional skills.

Thanks for the compliment on the flower shot too. I've been trying to improve my composition, getting the background and foreground to work together to complement each other, and that was one that succeeded, I think.

Indeed it did.  In fact after your first post of images I was almost going to leave a comment/suggestion about working to place your subjects further off center compositionally.  

Have fun!
