[QUOTE="singlerosa_RIP, post: 293078, member: 15556"] Typically, a prime will be faster - 1.8 or 1.4 - than your zoom (usually 3.5-4.5 for kit lenses) so you can shoot in lower light situations and also get better bokeh. Also, better glass. The lens you're looking at cost as much as you zooms and doesn't zoom or have VR. But it probably has better glass and maybe a metal mount vs plastic. [/QUOTE]
