Actually all of the Zeiss primes work great with it and they're pretty compact, specially the 25, 28, 35 and the 50, any of which will do the trick.I have to say that I agree, but the S5 is big and heavy, and the lenses that work well on the S5 are big and heavy as well.
Up to 50mm, it look's ok. It's above that I get into trouble, and I do wish the S5 was D80-sized. The difference is considerable, and the Zeiss lenses won't even meter with the D80 (This is the most negative thing I have to say about Nikon, a designed lack of backwards compatibility. All Pentax and Olympus cameras meter with legacy lenses, in addition to adding IS. Heck, Olympus even meters with Nikon and Pentax lenses. Unfortunately, only the E30 and E-3 have viewfinders that are suited for manual focusing.).Actually all of the Zeiss primes work great with it and they're pretty compact, specially the 25, 28, 35 and the 50, any of which will do the trick.
That is kind of what I was getting at except that I didn't mean to make reference about learning the craft of photography. I meant in my experience a photographer that has a lot of equipment seems to choose the hardware they need to get the image they want (use the right tool for the job), e.g. if you are not close enough, you zoom in or get a longer lens. On the other hand, with few choices and less flexible hardware, if I am not close enough I need to move to get closer. You equipment hounds have the benefit of more creative control -- I have the benefit of more time to drink beer.I will grant that since I do go back and forth on gear I spend less 'quality time' learning this craft and more adapting to whatever camera I am using.
