Prime VS Zooms.

[Razor2012]

With a hobby shooter however, they are free to deliver as many or few images as they like, and usually have the access to their subjects that eliminates the need to work quickly. I'll add that I generally deliver much fewer images than the number most pro photographers would be required to deliver.

It all depends on the situation you are shooting. I'm no pro but shooting something like a concert or dance recital, you have no time to change lenses, it's just bang-bang or you've missed the shot. A good zoom does have it's purpose.

There is definitely room for both.

I usually have 2 bodies, one with zoom, one with prime.

An example might be the 70-200 f/2.8II and the 135/f/2 or 200 f/2
