It is faster and marginally sharper. In case you like the framing at 50mm, definitely go for the prime. If you think that you would like tighter shots, or some distance from the subjects while taking portraits, then you should try the 85mm or 105mm primes. The 105 is a macro, but does an excellent job of portraits.I would stay away from the long zooms as not only are they slow their IQ is not that good. Further more, at the long end most of the lower cost zooms are pretty soft.</blockquote>
