Looks like a GREAT deal!! Are primes usually cheaper than auto focus lenes? I assume so since the capabilities are limited.

most still have AF, just no zoom. that's not always true. prices of all lenses just depend on what f-stop (how low) they can go and the quality of glass used. in the canon lineup there are three different 50mm primes. the f/1.8 is only $125, the f/1.4 is $375-ish, the f/1.2 (with L glass) is $1530. for the average buyer, the f/1.4 is a great buy but the f/1.2 is where it's at if you want the best possible image in that lens range.

I was all about primes, 35mm F1.8, 105mm F2.8, 300mm F4. And my Tokina 11-16 F2.8 is basically a short range prime. I recently picked up the 16-85mm Nikkor for a general purpose walk around and.. its ok. Sharpness is good, with my sb700 an VR i do decent with it in low light. I'm just not sure i want to switch out a 24, 35, 50, 85 all day long. I do want a 50 1.2 though. I demo'd one out in the store and liked it

Next lens on my list is the 70-200 VR ii. While the majority love this lens, a few claim its not worth its $2400 price tag. I will soon find out.

If anyone is interested i have added alot of images to my photostream. May want to pass by the recent pet and farm photos.
