My 2cents on the whole matter...

Of the 5 lenses I have, I prefer my primes when I'm out and about being
creative.  (Go stick a 14mm rectilinear or a 15mm semi-fish on your
body... Talk about learning curve!  Great fun!)  But when I recently
took some shots at a wedding for a friend of mine I loved having the
75-200 zoom on board for it's ability to go from a nice, tight
father/daughter-while-dancing head shot to a full-length shot in just
seconds.  I do find I spend most of my time with my zoom at either 75mm
or 200mm.  I was planning my next lens purchase to be a 400mm or
longer... Maybe I'll look into a nice super-fast prime in the 85mm-135mm
range.  Anyone got a 85mm f/1.4 they want to sell for a good price? =P

P.S.  If there's anyone in the Union/Sommerset NJ counties that wants to
get together one weekend and go fall color trekking let me know.  Be
nice to hang with a fellow PDML'er and share ideas.
