[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 333333, member: 15356"] This might explain it more than other reasons. Sharpness is either there or not in a prime, but a zoom might be sharp at some focal lengths but not at others. If a prime isn't sharp as I want/need I don't use it. But with a zoom you have to figure out what focal lengths are sharp and which ones aren't. So to me it seems you can't depend on a zoom(at least the cheaper ones). Fast is also a factor I may subconsciously consider too without realizing it.But accurate focal length is something that I did think about. When adjusting the zoom focal length, it seems like it's an approximation at best and a total guess when in a hurry. But maybe like I said, it might partly be me not using a zoom right. But to the most part I think you hit the nail on the head! Thanks buddy! This might be what is that makes me reach for a prime over a zoom all the time! :) [/QUOTE]
