I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I honestly don't know the answer. Why do they make fixed (or I think they're called prime) lenses? I'm looking at getting a Nikon D80 and am currently looking at lenses and trying to figure out why I (or anyone) would need say a 50mm lens when you can get 50 mm out of a zoom lens that goes from 14-200 for example. I know there is a difference in the "f" numbers between a fixed and a zoom, but not exactly sure if that has anything to do with it or not. Thanks in advance,
Mike
