Still it was mighty fun shooting the celebrations of the Buddhist New Year last night with 2 cameras and these 4 primes. I might have looked like a prime-snob though.

Impossible!
There is no such things as a prime snob, except when shooting with fast Leica primes

Besides, it wasn't APS-C anyway, right?
