With the zoom kit vs. prime lens - I think (for myself) I will do more with the prime lens. It makes the camera much smaller so I am more apt to take it places. I just need to learn how to work with/around the limitations it presents. And since it's an older lens and not made for digital cameras it has forced me to begin to learn the camera/manual settings.
By the way - Jediboy - I also agree that #2 & 3 are under exposed (especially 3). At that time I hadn't figured out how the histogram info could help me (although I'm not sure why I didn't take more photos at different apertures/speeds) & I couldn't see the images very well on my review screen. They are a couple years old. I have since been slowly figuring things out
