Or, impede them greatly.. Some of the new zooms are less than equal to a prime, but definitely minutely.. This person is strugging with DOF on a 50 1.8.. I’d dump the idea all together until I had the $$ to upgrade lens and camera.. But, I’d definitely not limit myself to a single prime on a tight budget.. if you’re going to buy glass, buy a 24-70 II or a 70-200 II..

Personally, I think a 50 on a 1.6x factor sensor is tight in most situations, so really a 35mm would be better.. but then there’s portraits, so you’d either need to make due with the 35 or buy an additional prime.. Either way, it’s a money pit and you’re going to spend more money buying primes vs just gettng a high end zoom.. I’d go with zoom; primes can wait
