I dont understand the desire for fast primes. I would never use a 24mm f1.4 lens wide open even assuming it was distortion free.
What it does get you is a wide angle lens that focusses almost instantly which is good.
All my wideangle primes are f2.8 i am very happy with their speed of focus. I dont need to reduce DOF to a sliver when I use a wideangle.
Maybe I am missing something.
Please do not educate me as I dont want to buy any more lenses except either the Nikon 200-500 or the Fuji 100-400. I still need to decide if the Fujis are my long term strategy or a solution to some issues that the Nikons cant provide a solution to currently in a DSLR.
I want a WYSIWYG viewfinder which is obviously impossible with OVF but very possible with EVF. But a hybrid OVF/EVF like in the Fujis does provide this and with the option to show the veiwfinder with or without exposure adjustment.


No using the TFT on the DSLR back in LiveView mode is not a solution (but a nightmare) ;-)
