A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Agree with everyone else that generally speaking I'd take a versatile well built zoom over a "perfect" and extremely fast prime. Unless you are a pro who is always shooting in specific situations where you know the lighting and have specific needs the versatility of a good zoom seems to me to win all the time. Besides with modern digitals I find there's so much extra dynamic range you can pull out of shot that even very underexposed shots that ideally need a faster lens can be brought out in editing.
