[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 519302, member: 25095"] There was this time when I was shooting natural light portraits in a hotel lobby. My normal lens (24-120mm/f4) wasn't able to cut it with the lighting, but the 85mm/f1.8 did the job. For that one scenario, I was glad to have the 85 with me. That said, I get far more use out of the zooms. If you're looking at the 70-200/f2.8, then that's even less of a problem than my fixed f/4 lenses. The trade off is more weight ... even the f/4 zoom weighs more than the f/1.8 prime, but for the trade off in versatility it's usually worth it. [/QUOTE]
