I really can't agree anymore. I see so much money squandered on equipment, only to see dull and uninspired photos. I know art is subjective, but it's surprising to see some of the pictures that really stand out to me aren't made on pro cameras, etc. Some are on consumer DSLRs, or even basic point and shoots. I think people are more fascinated with having the latest and greatest then actually going out and taking pictures.
Primes are very versatile if it is a good lens of a moderate focal length...the rest you can do with your feet and on the strength of your composition.
I wholeheartedly agree. Unless you're getting paid, I think you can really save yourself money, and enjoy shooting more by using primes.
I personally enjoy shooting with my old film cameras more, but its more costly and time consuming, whereas with my D50, I can just pull out my eeepc and start seeing results and tweaking.
Here's to Nikon updating their primes. Give me an affordable DX wide to normal length 1.4 lens to compete with the Siggy 30mm(my most used lens).
