This is about more than a lens. This is about simplicity of vision and complexity of light. For many, primes were how they always shot, back in the day. For others, these lovely fixed focals are a newfound joy. I prefer them manual. No auto-focus, no electronics... just me, light and two simple rings. Get out of the way.

There are a couple prime lens groups out there but most are brand specific and that is limiting and boring. Old glass or new glass, post your favorite shots taken with ANY fast prime. The shots should be rich and shot wide open or tight down... as long as the shot asked for it. To hell with zoom.

Please limit your submissions to *around* 2 or 3 per day or less, but we're not counting. Just please be respectful and don't flood the pool with only a single photographer's shots. This pool is seeking photos only... editing is of course acceptable, but images that have been created using heavy editing techniques are not really what we are after... as this is about the lens and the photographer's eye, not the photographers software. Give others feedback, but please don't just "slap" a comment on any shot. This is not one of those groups. Say something if you've something to say. And, by all means, spread the love and invite others. There will be some magnificent vision here.

You're in your prime.

Here is some simple, quite optional commenting code for the group...
