[QUOTE="aroy, post: 363226, member: 16090"] It all depends on what and where you shoot. A zoom is invaluable for general photography in good light (or with a flash). It is versatile but at the expense of weight. A prime on other hand is a light lense, excellent for low light or good OOF rendering. At around F6 there is hardly any difference in sharpness between primes and professional zooms, but the prime scores when you want a light package and shooting in low light without a flash. I do most of my indoor photography with the 35mm F1.8DX, The zooms are there when versatility of zoom will help and when the light is good (or a flash is feasible). [/QUOTE]
