>>4465633I don't understand standard "fast" zoom people unless they literally can't afford a mid prime pair/triplet or are a paid journo in the act of being a paid journo. It's an inherently autistic lens choice that doesn't make sense except for professional event coverage. It's just bad at everything except alternating between different kinds of group portraits (weddings) and keeping the ISO low. Basically everyone else would be better served by a wider ranging/smaller slow zoom (and maybe a tiny f1.8 thing in the lunchbox) or a pair of mid primes.
The vast majority of good photography was done with primes. I think they lack any real advantages outside of meeting other peoples demands for specific photos when time is money.
