I've been shooting with Nikon for a few years now and am working up through the ranks, but before buying a new body I want to be as good as I possibly can be with the D90 I've got. I've been using my 35mm f1.8 more and more of late, and generally shooting in RAW (NEF) than jpeg.
I love the Prime as it really makes me think about composition, and using RAW files makes me consider even more, given the size of the files, but I'm still reading that some users prefer a more practical zoom lens.
I've got a 70-300mm zoom, that I'll use to capture my son playing football or my daughter playing tennis, but am having a true romance with the 35mm prime that I'm using that over anything else.
What's the general view on Prime vs Zoom???
