My new favorite lens is a 20mm prime. I throw it on a small (relatively) D300, and I'm good to go.
It's lightweight, tiny, and best of all, it makes me get up close and personal. In the picture above, I could feel the breeze as this cute little guy went by, that's how close I was.
It makes me pay attention to the foreground and the background in ways that a zoom somehow doesn't.
It lets me blend in with the other camera-toters, so people tend to act more naturally then they do when I'm aiming a big fat zoom at them.
Even though it's tiny, it's still a 2.8, so I can work in natural light, even as dusk approaches.
So right now it's my favorite lens. Until tomorrow, when I'll need something different for football.
