Overated primes II

Tedolf

You are a smart guy and everyone knows it, so you know, in good light you can stop down sufficient to have good quality and still have a decent shutter speed. I mean a shutter speed plenty fast enough to prevent motion blur without raising ISO.

You know it so why did you you continue to haggle me about my statement?

 

[rrr_hhh]

This horse has been beated to dead already, your previous thread has reached the limit, so why are you trying to relaunch it, there is nothing more to be said, unless you are looking for more fight.

If it bothers you why open it? Besides, there may be some who wish to reply again and might have some startling information..that would be startling for sure...

EP3 with 12mm f/2.0 Prime...no way you would even come close with a handheld zoom (And this place didn't allow photography so the stealth 12mm worked great!)

the reason there is a post limit of 151 is that troll posts eventually die... because there are never any 151 threads that are non-troll

God I could not be arssed with the other thread.... but now we get part II...

Ok well primes are good for low light and zooms are for convinence. - size can be a factor but probably not enough to make too much odds - especialy with these compact zooms for m43.

Sharpness/CA has little to do with it these days as most zooms are actualy very good and well usable...

But when it gets dark, you need sub F2... and there ias no other way to get that other than a prime!

When cameras get sweet ISO 25k then lest try this topic again!

Nuff said!

 

[LTZ470]

Don't get me wrong I love zooms!!!!

Could you get these with a zoom...I couldn't for sure! EP3 w/ 25mm 1.4...

Along with RAW vs jpeg the prime vs zoom argument is the other great time waster.

In my view...

Primes are for people who like to use primes, and zooms are for people who like to use zooms.

I'm versatile, I like both.

This isn't high school and nobody cares about your dirty laundry you wish to air.

Seriously, move on.

You could have sent a PM and not stated another trolling thread.
Anytime you want to start a thread directed at a specfic user, think twice.

Personally, I was part of the Part I - The Last Great Primes vs. Zooms War and don't remember Teldolf or anyone going on and on saying that you couldn't get good photos from zooms in good light.

I was out shooting today and chose to just use my Oly 17 and leave everything else in the car. This in spite of the fact that I was using a tripod and shot everything at f7.1 for DoF. Yes, I could have welded my zoom at 17mm and gotten close to the same photos, but I chose not to. I know the FL very well, know the lens and have confidence in its performance and didn't feel limited at all. In fact, since I am so comfortable with the FL I basically just previsualize my shot, set up my tripod where I'm standing and maybe adjust the tripod a few inches when I actually do the final framing with my camera.

You continue on a public thread and then try to tell everyone that it is supposed to be just between you and teldolf, what's with that? You think your words are so profound that we all will just stand here blown away by your brilliance?

I haven't read the original statement but from what I gather I think this might be your answer.



Because a zoom won't get in that close at that wide an aperture. I wanted a specific effect when I took that out of camera and a zoom just wouldn't have done it at that type of quality. It is the reason that even though I've abandoned the Nikon system except for my F100 and work use D100 I still keep so many primes.
