As I grow older, getting the shot is becoming more of a priority than technical nit picking. As a result:
a) I prefer zooms to prime lenses as I can get the correct composition faster and not miss on acton/story. When I see the final photo the modern zooms look sharp enough to me, I many times can't tell if it was a zoom or a prime.
b) I am ok with f2 or 2.8 verses f1.2 or 1.4. The difference in background blur is minimal but the 2.8 lenses are lighter and focus faster. (Besides modern cameras are excellent at higher ISO...)
Does anyone else relate?
