There is nothing like a really fast prime lens for available light photography, be it film or digital. I really enjoy exploring the possibilities of digital long exposures at night.
Please comment briefly on when and if you use a fast (f/2 or faster) single focal length lens.

Although I have zooms, I find I do most of my shooting with a primary lens. You always know what the f stop is and can quickly determine what the effective focal range is for a given f-stop. Of course these are manual focus lens with the scales. I feel it is a huge mistake to drop the distance scale and oten aperature ring from auto-focus and digital lens. It gets down to creative photography versus point and shoot mentality being force fed to consumers.
