Not necessarily. I was actually going to spend just under $300 for a zoom lens, but the advice was that a prime was better. The 85mm is a little more than $300 which exceeds my price range a little ($300 was the absolute max i would have spent, but was looking more for the $250 and under mark). The tamaron is also over $300. (I've actually searched several places for each lens referred).
Just think that while the 50mm is cheaper because of the plastic mount, it'll give me a chance to grow with using a prime while still gathering good photos.....keep in mind it was only less than two months ago that i was using a P&S. It'll also give me more time to figure out what i really need without spending alot of money of front. |
fair enough.. :-) |
