The following questions apply more to digital photography.
-------------------------------------------------------
I have heard some people who ask why use a prime lens to shoot portrait when a good zoom lens (eg, 70-200 f2/8) can do the job at producing good bokeh and image sharpness.
I am interested to know what are your thoughts on this? Is weight the issue that makes most people use a prime? Or are there some special inherent qualities in an image produced by a portrait prime lens that no zooms can ever touch? :think:
