I have a 50mm prime too. Prime was the only way I could get to an aperture that wide and justify the cost for now. Love that lens though; it seems like you learn a lot when you have to move your position instead of moving a zoom ring. Great pic!
Gonna try to join in the thread more this month. I just ordered a Tamron 18-200. I know I won't be able to get to 200 really but I was tired of missing shots because I had to wrong lens on.
