O RLY.

so based on what you posted so far, is bokeh that WOWs you?

You're missing the point of the post. smile.gif So bokeh is the WOW factor? Seriously?

Can you tell the difference without putting side by side?

IMO that's the least important when it comes to choosing primes.

Unfortunately it's always the over-emphasis on bokeh that newbies immediately go buy the cheapest prime they can, and started to spam with bokeh-rich no-DOF lousy photos.

I'd go for primes for the following reasons
- FIXED perspective, there's no movement of the lens. It makes it consistent all the way.
- distortion control.

lighter weight too
and of course distortion control is the world most important to me hehee

Sometimes it is more of a masculine issue. I am not a noob, therefore I only use prime lens with huge aperture size

Prime lens shooters.
I am sure you are aware of the Kuala Lumpur Photo Awards 2013 competition that is taking place currently.
The deadline for the submission is on the 31st MArch 2013.
