[QUOTE="RON_RIP, post: 288551, member: 1140"] Primes are much better in low light situations, they are generally lighter, they have a simpler design, which can mean less mechanical issues. They tend to be somewhat sharper, although quality zooms have overcome most of that advantage. on the other hand, zooms are often a better walk around choice than primes. When you are shooting different subjects, at different distances, and in circumstances that do not allow for changing lenses, the zoom will serve you well, but it must be in the range of your most used focal lengths and be as good of a quality as you can afford. But I think you will find numerous threads on this site that explore this very issue [/QUOTE]
