A contest which seems to be almost eternal is the photographers war on zoom vs. prime lenses. A few commonly asked questions are which is best, which should I use, which is the most affordable, and which will give me the best image quality? Sit tight and be prepared to pick a side, the war is just beginning.
Zoom lenses are perfect for situations where you don’t have the time to keep changing lenses every half hour, or need the versatility to be shooting landscape one minute and wildlife high in the branches of trees 30 seconds later. In the aspect of versatility and function when you’re on the go, having a zoom lens will save you many headaches and many missed shots.
