prime is just a fixed focal length lens...such as a 50mm lens, or a 35mm lens..a Non-Zoom

L-lenses is the moniker that Canon created for its higher end glass (not sure what the Nikon equivalent title is...but there is one..nikon guys?), they are weather sealed and use a different coating/glass internally..usually the build quality is what sets them apart from their non-L counterparts

Any suggestions on a kit. The one i was looking at last night said that shipping was prohibited.

Unless i shoot wide open all my pictures have spots!


I would say, you can clean it yourself, but for the low cost of bringing it to a local camera shop, they can do it for you and you dont have to worry about making a mistake
