ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Prague -- and a few photo notes from along the avenues of the czech capital:
• Though i find the lens frustrating for street photography, i've been trying out Mike's 50mm f1.8 lens... a cheap version of the lens i really want, the 1.8 doesn't have great optics, but it's not bad in controlled settings.
• This trip marks the first time i've really started shooting in RAW format. tho i resisted the file sizes for a long time, as Mike, Keith, Adam, and most recently Raul have professed, RAW really makes all the difference in controlling color and quality in post-production, especially in low light. after some experimenting, i've become a believer.
more prague to come. previous other places on this site.

Per lenses: street shooting with the 85mm gives me the reach, good for more fixed subjects, where the 50mm (and the 28mm) can be better for capturing harder-to-predict action. For me, that would be an ideal set of primes, plus at least one versatile zoom, still to be determined.
