Prior to getting into sports type photography, my 3 primes on the SP500 served
me well
from 1971 to
1997. Because it can take a number of shots from different jumps to make a
sale,a zoom is
the best
way for me.Either that or have 2-3 bodies with primes over my shoulder,which is
not
good.LOL
Zooms for me are also good if i see something interesting on the sidelines i
can quickly
get those shots
to.
Most often when doing my drive around landscape stuff i have more time, so i
can use
primes more
often.
Just a side not with zooms/primes on Dlsr's. I have had little problem with
duston my
Nikons using
zooms, but more on my istD using primes.
Its a strange planet we live on,and oh, don't forget your towel.:-)
