For example, Nikon is selling a fast 35mm f/1.8 lens for about $200 (that's more than double the light gathering ability of an f/2.8 lens). If you pay a little more, you can get an f/1.4 prime, which is 4x as much light gathering ability as f/2.8.

Primes also tend to be a bit sharper, better constructed, and all around awesome lenses.

Will this Prime work on my Olympus E510
