Yes it loses autofocus. I find it ok to manually focus, sometimes you don't get perfect focus but I don't mind that. It's definately not much more difficult then doing manual focus with the kit lens. Maybe even easier because of the shallow depth of field, you see where your focus is easier.

The added low light capability of f1.4-1.8 lenses alone is worth it for me. I have only tested the kit lens a few times and tried it on shoots and it never worked out for me. I shoot loads of available light indoors material.

It depends on what kind of stuff you do really, if your shooting situations are controlled (music videos, art pieces) and you can do multiple takes I'd go for prime lenses. If you're shooting mostly outdoors in a sunny place things that can't be redone, sports etc. I would stick with the kit lens.

Hi, Just came back to Vimeo after a while. If you type in a link on a video description with www the link will come out broken since it adds http:\/\/ on it. Should be http:// http://www.vimeo.com/8268236 Check this video description text as an example. Thanks! Sami

hi,

I used only one, 24mm Canon FD f1.4 L, its a real great lens!

Thanks Daniel, I am aware of albums and channels. I have put a lot of effort into promoting my Vimeo page though. It would hinder the last 2 years of promoting my vimeo site to start redirecting people to a channel or albums. What you are suggesting is more a workaround of which we are aware of and for this very reason trying to turn around your heads to letting us re-arrange our uploads. I think Vimeo is way ahead of the curve in many aspects and tries to give the most creative experience to both uploaders and viewers. I wish you would seriously consider this option since I believe mostly people would use this re-arrange ability to fix mistakes or put things in chronological order by creation date. I can't imagine it could be misused in any way. Of course you should keep upload date intact but just let us organize numbering of videos. In my case my first films were filmed in 2006 in super 8, 16mm and super 16mm and the newer ones in HD that I have uploaded here. It has a strong sense of chronology to me personally as well as historically I believe. Sami
