Thanks Ed. Actually, looking at that last one, it was probably with a 25mm, not a 35mm...too much wide angle-ishness in the corners. It is a shame that prime lenses are not as popular with the manufacturers these days...they are usually smaller, lighter, faster and better in every way than the zooms. Not always, but often. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate zooms -- I use the 24-70 on the D3 and it is great, but coming from primes, f/2.8 is SLOW, there is also much more distortion than with good primes. And it is very large and heavy. But for quick reaction, events, and times when it is not possible to change lenses, it can't be beat.
