Fun with fixed focal lens

[jamsus]

After using a prime lens for a while you start to see the world through that focal length and anticipate the shot / know how it will frame. Primes also prevent "lazy photography" to an extent. It's easy to stand in one place with a zoom and just zoom to get a framing, not necessarily the best framing.

I really liked this consideration, i think it's pretty true.

ever since I got my 40mm "pancake" prime lens I can't stop using it, of the hundreds of puppy shots I've taken over these past 11 weeks the 40mm is the only lens I have been able to get great photos with, the autofocus is fast and smooth, and the F2.8 AP really helps in lowlight spots, over all I love this little wonder lens, and it's all I have been shooting lately too.
