[QUOTE="Chris E, post: 423991, member: 26147"] I bet your eye at under normal viewing circumstances can't tell the difference between one of the zooms discussed here and one of the primes. Only if you pixel peep can you start seeing some difference, maybe, in a perfect situation. I take those scores at DXO Mark etc. as only one piece of info to make a decision. I use zooms because I don't want to carry around alot of different lenses, and I don't want to have to move or crop alot to get the composition I want. Plus, like I implied I believe it is getting a little too anal complaining about sharpness of primes and test scores vs one of these good zooms. Now that I have the D750, I sold my D7100 and the 16-85 and 10-24 to a friend, I will probably buy the 20 1.8 prime for wide angle uses and astro photography because I will not pay high dollar for one of the wide angle Nikon zooms. But other than my macro I see no need to get other primes for what I shoot. Maybe portrait people can get better use of primes than me.... And to stay on topic, I have the 24-120 f4 and highly recommend it, regardless of what the 'tests' say. What helps as well is the great price of it bundled with the D750. [/QUOTE]
