yeah..there's tonnes of stuff you can do with a prime.. it's a great all-round lense.
I picked up an f1.4 50mm prime, but because my camera isn't a full-framed DSL, it's an equivalent 75mm lense... so it's not as wide angled as I would prefer...but the 50mm lense was $350, and a proper 1.4F 35mm lense would be about $900. -- I figured for the times I want a wider angle, the kit lense should suffice.
If I find a need for one, I'll get a 1.4F 35 later on.
I haven't even put the kit lense on the camera yet.... some more 50mm shots..
once again, mostly auto -- flash and focus points manually set.
