But 50mm lens is only $100.

I was at Chapter reading some photo mag this morning.  There was a wedding photographer says she uses 50mm for 70% of all photos.  We are talking about 2-3 stops faster than a zoom.

Oh my goodness, big debate on zoom versus prime??

    Don't get confused ..

It is not what "vs" what ... I like prime more too, (result) but won't say VS ..  the idea is not when you have zoom, can't use prime, or the other way around.

Same as ..  Canon vs Nikon? no such thing, you can use Canon, you can use Nikon, you can use Sony, you can use all, or whatever ..

As Fai Chi said, can't say KFC vs Macdonald ga ma ..  may be today I want KFC, but I want MacDonald tomorrow lei!

I've seen and I know some wedding photographers use fisheye and 400mm to shoot wedding portraits. Right or wrong? LOL

that's two different ideas
whatever focal length u want to use is your decision
but personally I would say primes give yourself a bit more room to think about your photography, especially for new learners who think that a superzoom takes care of everything

Yes, same idea and feeling to some people. Using zoom lenses is more practical and using prime lenses is kinda "cool". LOL
