So do you need the best lens? Maybe, maybe not!

I have seen Dan's videos before.  Of course he doesn't need f/1.4 primes.  He is a landscape photographer.  Additionally..."sharpness" is way overblown these days when it comes to lens reviews, etc.  I have the 2.0 primes and do love them primarily because of the size.  I use them all the time for general shooting.  That said, I do have the 18/1.4 and 33/1.4 because I do shoot in low light whether it is at night on the street or musicians in bars.    If I was only shooting landscapes, I wouldn't feel the need for these lenses.
