fixed focal vs. zoom

[Battou]

For the other 99%, its all about convience...and a prime lense is NOT convenient. It is human nature, that if you have to go a few extra steps, then you just wont do it.

Personally, not having a zoom would be a complete Pain in the rear. If I was a pro doing portraits, then i certainly would have some primes...but guess what....99% of us are not pro and just take pictures as a hobby.

I'm a hobby shooter...My primary shooting equipment consists of twenty one primes and three zooms, two of those zooms never get used. The point of a hobby is to ocupy ones spare time...just how efficent of a time ocupier is it when the hobbiest is relying on the convienience of stationary photography?
